Tumakuru: The expansion of Tumakuru City Corporation (TMC) has created a huge controversy. A proposal had been sent to the government to include more villages in the jurisdiction of the growing city. But now along with this, another proposal has reached the government’s court and the idea of making Tumkur Municipal Corporation Greater Tumkur on the model of Bengaluru has come to the fore.
Proposal for Greater Tumkur submitted
The talk of giving a new look to Tumkur city, which is growing day by day, is in full swing. Earlier, a few villages were planned to be added to Tumakuru city. There were also complaints in this regard. A proposal to develop Tumkur city on the lines of Bengaluru has been mooted.
Regarding this, the district in-charge minister G. Parameshwara provided important insights, stating that Bangalore, which was once a single municipal corporation, has now expanded into Greater Bangalore comprising five municipal corporations. Changes have been made based on the city’s expansion, population growth, and infrastructure needs. Similarly, the government has proposed the idea of developing Tumakuru city following the same model.
In addition, the growing Bangalore has already reached the border of Tumkur. Against this backdrop, Tumkur is also a fast-growing city and we will make Tumkur a Greater City. He said that now a proposal has been submitted to the government to make Greater Tumkur.
At present, the idea of Greater Tumkur is being discussed at the government level and a final decision will be taken soon. According to the district in-charge minister, the administration, development and infrastructure of the city will get a new look once the Greater Tumkur Project is implemented. At the moment, this idea is at the government level, and the debate is when to change.
