- Fire department in Karnataka receives 80 per cent of calls in the first five months of year
Highest number of fire calls recorded in March, followed by February; Property over Rs 330 crore lost in fire accidents in 2024 - BBMP to deliver 23L draft khatas to property owners’ doorsteps
In October 2024, the BBMP made e-khata mandatory for property registrations, mortgages, and other transactions, digitising records previously maintained in manual registers at all 64 assistant revenue offices. This move aims to eliminate the need for in-person visits to the BBMP revenue offices for khata-related services.

Global economic growth is projected to remain at 2.8 per cent in 2025, unchanged from 2024, according to the United Nations flagship report, World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) 2025. While the global economy has demonstrated resilience, withstanding a series of mutually reinforcing shocks, growth remains below the pre-pandemic average of 3.2 per cent, constrained by weak investment, sluggish productivity growth, and high debt levels.
