'Join govt to find solutions to city's ills'

President Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said Bengaluru’s residents should come up with solutions to growing problems of the city due to rapid urbanisation.

Speaking after inaugurating the Kempegowda Rashtriya Utsava here, he said like any other city, Bengaluru too was facing problems due to urbanisation. Visionary founder of Bengaluru, Kempegowda, had taken steps to build Bengaluru as a better city including providing drinking water by digging several lakes in and around the city, he said.
