US EditionBengaluru Rural Renamed: Karnataka District Will Now Be Known as Bengaluru North
- During a cabinet meeting held at Nandi Hills on July 2, 2025, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah led the approval to change the name of Bengaluru Rural district to Bengaluru North.
- This change follows previous reorganizations, including the 1986 separation of Bengaluru into Urban and Rural districts, and the formation of Ramanagara district from a portion of Bengaluru Rural in 2007.
- Bengaluru Rural includes Hoskote, Devanahalli, Doddaballapur, and Nelamangala taluks, which host key infrastructure like Bengaluru International Airport and industrial parks.
- The cabinet also approved projects worth Rs 3,400 crore, with Rs 2,050 crore targeting the Bengaluru Revenue division, and renamed Bagepalli town in Chikkaballapura district as Bhagyanagar.
- This renaming aims to attract investors and leverage Bengaluru’s reputation, while Siddaramaiah reaffirmed his government's full five-year term and dismissed BJP’s claims as lies.
