Over the last few months, hundreds of sampige saplings have yet again been planted by the residents’ group between the 8th and 18th Cross of Malleswaram. The group recently joined hands with Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK) for technical support in tracking these saplings.
Last week, BBMP published data concerning Malleswaram. In the preceding BBMP configuration (when the civic agency comprised 198 wards), Malleswaram was referred to as Ward 45.

BBMP is set to deploy marshals to monitor places of worship following complaints of little or no precautions against spread of COVID-19
Maha Shivaratri, which (March 11) heralds the arrival of summer, draws hundreds if not thousands of devotees to Shiva temples. However, visitors are worried as they have observed a lack of precautions in places of worship over the last few weeks.
For instance, a resident of Kanakapura Road went to a place of worship and was taken aback to see hundreds of people gathered there. “I was worried when I saw that COVID-19 appropriate behaviour, like mask wearing, maintaining social distance and frequent hand-washing and sanitising, was not being followed,” she said.

The tourism industry in the state is on a rebound after a dull patch during the Covid-19 pandemic. The threat of Bird Flu adding to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic woes, has, however, barely dented the sector, which is seeing a revival with people stepping out of their cities, towns and villages with a vengeance following months of restrictions.
Dfficials and experts from tourism and hospitality sectors observe that tourist crowds have increased so much that roads leading to Mysuru, Ooty, Kodagu and other places from Bengaluru often seeing traffic gridlocks as most tourists from within the state prefer taking their own vehicles rather than rely on trains or government or private buses.
