Bengaluru: The Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) is developing an online dashboard to monitor the progress of major infrastructure projects across the city.
The initiative follows instructions from Chief Secretary Shalini Rajneesh after a meeting with senior government officials and industry leaders last month.
"A public dashboard on the progress of projects will be shared," billionaire entrepreneur Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw said in a post on X, a few days after meeting Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar and senior officials.
At the inter-departmental meeting held in September, Shalini directed GBA Chief Commissioner M Maheshwar Rao to create a live dashboard to track the status of pothole-filling activity and ongoing projects. Rao confirmed to DH that the dashboard is currently being designed.
It is also learnt that an expert committee has been formed to address issues faced by commuters on the 18-km Outer Ring Road, a tech corridor employing about eight lakh people. The committee will oversee the re-development of the stretch at an estimated cost of Rs 400 crore.
