Karnataka’s cities continue to need road repairs, drainage work and waste management while local elections are being prepared. An institutional transition can explain a timetable, but it should not make it impossible to identify who is responsible for routine services.nnThe December election target should be accompanied by public information on voter rolls, civic work and decision-making authority. Karnataka Mirror will follow both.
Residents should not have to wait for an election to know whether a drain will be repaired or a road made safe. Departments can publish work orders, completion dates and responsible officers during the interim. Karnataka Mirror will use those records to keep civic accountability visible while the electoral process continues.
