Vijaykumar, MLA, Jayanagar, Dayanand, BBMP Welfare Officer, south Bangalore, Srinivas, BBMP officials, and former corporators, CK Ramamurthy, B Somashekar, SK Nataraj and other BJP leaders were present.

so that this should be issued in a proper manner and also recommend and give opportunity to other people, if you all don't make use of this benefits the fund goes un used and it goes back to BBMP, in fact for the past 3 years the BBMP is not been issuing the tailoring machines to the women's due to some technical reason, but we will ensure you'll that in the next batch tailoring machines will be given to those beneficiaries also
