Arkavathy mess tops BDA chief’s agenda

Bengaluru | Thursday | 20th June, 2019

Summary:

Flashbulbs went off and the media was in full attendance well before 10am, to capture shots of only the second woman to occupy the commissioner’s chair since the Authority was set up in 1976. You will be the second woman to occupy the hotseat of this 43-year-old organisation. With only a handful of women occupying senior roles across BDA, how challenging do you think it could be? On the whole, the number of women officers is fewer than male officers, which is why fewer women have occupied top posts. There is talk of previous commissioner Rakesh Singh being eased out due to political pressure..
