Expressing dissatisfaction with the efforts made by Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) in distributing food kits to the needy in COVID-19 containment zones, the Karnataka High Court on Thursday asked the state government to nominate a senior officer to supervise all operations of the municipal body in this regard.
This direction came in a set of pleas seeking food security and rations for the poor in the city's COVID-19 containment zones.
