How to boost the value of your property A cleaner and healthier environment has a direct impact on property values. This is something that Magicbricks’ data analysis has consistently thrown up. Localities have witnessed as much as 20 per cent hike in values due to their healthier and greener environments. So how do I ensure cleaner environment around me? The magic word is ‘an active Ward Committee’. What is that and how do I get involved and make it work? Because of a wide range of municipal functions and powers, and many interest groups ‘Ward Committees’ were formed in Bangalore. The aim is to give more power and say to the citizens of the city. With the implementation of new Ward Committee Rules drafted by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP), for example, residents can now question and coordinate ward committees on litter or garbage in their ward. They can even move the court if the complaints to the corporator do not solve the problem. Section 4(i) of the draft Karnataka Municipal Corporations (Ward Committee) Rules 2013 says that citizens can approach ward committees in case of littering or uncleared garbage. Thereby, decentralising several functions. Earlier in 2014 Ward Committee Rules were finalised. It is now only a matter of time Ward Committees become functional and act in response to the needs of the people.
