Special camps were organized across all 17 wards and commercial zones to ensure transparent, fast, and citizen-friendly service delivery.

Medical officers of health, health supervisors, senior health inspectors, and health inspectors from Mahadevapura and KR Puram divisions are actively engaged in enforcement against illegal PG operations and in executing the special trade license campaign, officials said.
