@priyankadutt asks: I’d love to know what and how the group of citizens first got together to protest Steel Flyover. Was it one person’s idea? How does leadership work at Citizens for Bangalore?

Many times when citizens goes to judiciary by filing PIL & civil suits - it involves lot of cost & time . I have 2 questions how you raise the funds to bear the cost required for judicial purpose & how citizens gives time to followup on Cass, drafting the PIL etc

@Sonia asks: This is for Tara, Where is information on these wards and members in each ward available? when you started Citizens Bangalore, how many wards had citizen members?

Do you have faced any challenges to work with volunteers?

How do you involve corporate employees to actually take an action for issues around civic issues. It can be as simple as signing a petition as an individual to sharing this within their org.
