Bengaluru, 24 May 

BJP MP Tejasvi Surya on Saturday proposed a comprehensive 15-point agenda aimed at modernising the City's civic administration, traffic management, and public transport systems.

The action plan was sent for consideration by Surya as Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar convened a meeting of City MPs and MLAs to deliberate on urgent issues concerning infrastructure.

According to a statement issued by Surya's office, he suggested formation of a Bengaluru 2050 Vision Group, a think tank comprising domain experts, civic leaders, and elected representatives to chart a long-term, future-ready roadmap for the City.

He sought for technology-driven traffic management initiatives to decongest city roads through smart signals, real-time monitoring, AI-based interventions, and better traffic flow optimisation on high-density corridors.

Surya stressed on revamp of public transport services, including strengthening BMTC, integrating last-mile connectivity, promoting multi-modal transport options, and accelerating Metro and Suburban Rail projects alongside 4,500 new electric buses under the PM-eBus Sewa scheme.

He also emphasised on strengthening of BMLTA (Bengaluru Metropolitan Land Transport Authority) as the sole nodal agency for all mobility-related planning, execution and coordination.

In addition to these, Surya's 15-point agenda covers a wide range of measures, including upgradation of key arterial and sub-arterial roads, execution of long-pending infrastructure works like flyovers, underpasses and Railway Over Bridges (ROBs) with strict deadlines, traffic engineering and junction decongestion initiatives and development of footpaths and pedestrian-friendly zones.
