Bengaluru: Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) has created 50 divisions and 150 sub-divisions across its jurisdiction as part of efforts to streamline administrative functioning following restructuring of the city’s civic governance.The decision came after the reorganisation of 369 wards under the Greater Bengaluru Administration Act, 2024, which came into force on May 15 last year, replacing Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) with a new multi-corporation governance model.Under the new structure, Bengaluru has been divided into five city corporations — Central, East, West, North and South — each responsible for managing civic administration within their respective jurisdictions. Officials said the newly created divisions and sub-divisions will help improve coordination and implementation of work across key departments, including revenue, public works and health. According to the circular issued by the authority, Bengaluru Central city corporation, with 63 wards, will have seven divisions and 24 sub-divisions; Bengaluru East (50 wards) will have seven divisions and 22 sub-divisions; Bengaluru West (the largest with 112 wards) will have 15 divisions and 45 sub-divisions; Bengaluru North (72 wards) will have 11 divisions and 30 sub-divisions; and Bengaluru South (72 wards) will have 10 divisions and 29 sub-divisions.GBA chief commissioner Maheshwar Rao said the restructuring aims to ensure smoother administrative functioning across the newly formed civic bodies.
