India, Sept. 15 -- Bengaluru's newly formed civic body, the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA), is set to take on its first independent project, the Bengaluru Water Resilience Project, aimed at bolstering the city's infrastructure against flooding and water stress.

This marks a major milestone for the authority, which until now has primarily overseen the works of B-SMILE, a special purpose vehicle handling mega projects.

M. Maheshwar Rao, Chief Commissioner of GBA, confirmed to The Hindu that the project would now be under the civic body's purview, as funds are routed through the government.
