Kengeri Town Municipal Council (TMC) 4. 111 villages * 1 village in Anekal taluk * 46 in Bangalore East taluk * 37 in Bangalore South taluk * 27 villages in Bangalore North taluk Image Courtesy: The Hindu The new authority will have 140 wards compared to the existing 100 of the BMP. Apparently, there has been a long-pending demand for including the areas around Bangalore into the corporation area to ensure a comprehensive and uniform development of the city.
