NITI Aayog tells Karnataka to consider building a ‘second Bengaluru’ to ease pressure on capital
NITI Aayog has advised the Karnataka government to explore creating a new urban centre comparable to Bengaluru within the state. The proposal aims to distribute economic activity and population more evenly, relieving congestion, infrastructure strain, and housing shortages in the current capital. Officials are to assess feasibility, location options, and required investments for such a secondary city.
