Bengaluru: Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar has said that only senior officers with extensive administrative experience would be appointed as Commissioners for the five corporations formed under the Greater Bengaluru Authority.

When asked by mediapersons about the proposed use of helicopters and aircraft for official government work, he said, “This topic has been before the government for several years. The Chief Minister had given me the responsibility of taking a decision on this and calling for tenders.
