Ombudsman suggested

A Gr-eater Bengaluru Services Ombudsman has been suggested to reduce the need for citizens to move the courts through Public Interest Litigations.

“We currently have instances of citizens going to court for footpaths or getting the BBMP and the Pollution Control Board to address the garbage issue effectively,” the members noted.

The Ombudsman will take up cases related to inter-agency disputes or complaints related to territorial responsibility between agencies or municipalities. It has been recommended that it be constituted on the lines of the Lokayukta.
