I want the Bangalore to grow organically: CM Bommai

Bengaluru. Feb 15.
“I want Bengaluru to grow organically. Because organic growth takes care of all the needs like education, health and culture. Bangaluru has got a very rich culture, rich past, which is different from other cities,” Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said.

The Chief Minister in his address after inaugurating the 3-lane flyover at Manyata Tech Park connecting the Outer Ring Road lauded Manyata Tech Park for building the flyover which would benefit not only those working at the tech park but all Bengalureans.

Bengaluru is growing in all directions and those who come to the city for education, employment and business become Bengalureans as it is blessed with great climate, cosmopolitan people and good facilities, Bommai said.

Sharing his dream of futuristic Bengaluru, Bommai said, “I have a dream of developing Bengaluru in its original bengaluru style. I need a lot of inputs, suggestions so that we can have a very planned and futuristic Bengaluru which would be the best place for living and a good future.”

It is a challenge because the city is growing in all directions. Most of the growth is horizontal growth that brings more challenge unlike Mumbai where most of it is vertical growth, he said.
