Bruhath Bengaluru
It looks awkward to use a single English word along with three Kannada words in BBMP.


The name BBMP stands for "Bruhath Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike" and it is not spelt "Bangalore" as published in your news papers. I had given a similar feedback to BBMP also earlier and I am happy that it was corrected in their website within a week. In my opinion, being Kannadigas it is our responsibility to spell the name correctly as we pronounce it in Kannada (particularly in the media). It looks awkward to use a single English word along with three Kannada words in BBMP.

Hope you will make sure that in all your publications, our city name will be pronounced correctly henceforth.
