The city is set to get smarter streetlight monitoring with GBA rolling out Centralised Control & Monitoring System (CCMS) to detect faulty lights in real time and streamline maintenance. Covering 5 lakh LED streetlights across the city, the system will reduce power bills and fix accountability, said Bengaluru Development minister Krishna Byre Gowda after inaugurating the first control room set up in Jayanagar.

#Karnataka govt’s tests of 63 petrol samples across seven districts have found #ethanol content exceeding the 20% limit, with IOCL samples recording 31.2% and HPCL 30.5%. #Bengaluru was among the districts where violations were detected.

Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs Minister @ArshadRizwan Arshad has demanded action against oil companies, an E20 compensation fund for consumers facing mileage loss and vehicle damage, mandatory disclosure of ethanol content at fuel pumps and the option to buy E10 petrol.
