Read Time:55 Second

With Bengaluru, where air and water pollution levels are soaring to dubious heights, slowly gearing up for the civic body elections to Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) which is most likely to be held in the coming months, a latest survey shows 89 per cent of the voters are worried about the environmental issues and climate change of the metropolitan city.
Yet only 25 per cent feel the elected representatives are giving due importance to environmental issues.
A new survey released Tuesday tried to gauge public perception on local governance, expectation from the upcoming polls, city budget, issues that affect the quality of life, citizens’ engagement with councillors as well as basic knowledge of the citizens on matters pertaining to city governance and politics.
The survey led by NGO Janaagraha Centre for Citizenship and Democracy was conducted in 27 wards belonging to eight zones of Bengaluru.
Using stratified random sampling methodology, 503 people, including those from different age and socio-economic groups, were asked questions during the period from December 16, 2021, and January 2, 2022.
