Bangalore Civic Agencies

The Karnataka High Court has wondered whether the President and Prime Minister should often visit the city and travel on different roads for civic agencies to do their job.

In a blow for the ruling BJP just two months before Assembly elections are held in Karnataka, the Congress has won big in the state's urban local body elections, bettering its 2007 numbers. The big flop of the election - BS Yeddyurappa.

The Karnataka High Court on Wednesday stayed felling of trees across Bangalore for widening of roads by the city's civic agency Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP).
