How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The Greater Bengaluru Authority was constituted under the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024, which provides for a multi-corporation structure for the city.
- The Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976 is the general law for city corporations in the State, while the Karnataka Town and Country Planning Act, 1961 governs land-use planning.
- Fire services find a place in the Twelfth Schedule of the Constitution, inserted by the 74th Constitutional Amendment Act, 1992, relating to urban local bodies.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (Local governance) and Karnataka-specific GS: Bengaluru's rapid, congested growth strained a single civic body, leading to the Greater Bengaluru Governance Act, 2024 and the Authority with multiple corporations. Approving fire stations shows the Authority taking up emergency services, a Twelfth Schedule function; the way forward lies in clear funds, functions and functionaries for each corporation, coordination with the Fire and Emergency Services, and 74th Amendment-compliant empowerment of local bodies.
