BENGALURU: Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai late on Sunday evening held a meeting with top officials to review the progress of Mission 2022. He advised them to ensure better management of roads in the central business district, and to improve traffic flow.
He directed officials to take the necessary steps, and said a separate meeting will be held to review the Smart City project.
