V Somanna has been elected twice from Govindaraja Nagara constituency. He has made many useful contributions for the overall development of this constituency. The constituency is being modeled in the state. Govindarajanagara has attracted the attention of sophisticated infrastructure such as health, education, library, yoga, meditation, drinking water unit, road, footpath etc.
The then MLA V. Somanna worked with special dedication to realize the long-standing demand of the people of Govindarajanagar assembly constituency for the construction of a separate police station. He implemented this important project in continuous coordination with the police department with the aim of further strengthening the safety, peace and law and order of the people of the constituency.
The establishment of a separate police station has made it possible to provide prompt police service to the public, and it has been possible to give greater priority to crime control and public security. V. Somanna has shown through his work that development is not just about the construction of roads and buildings; the protection of people's lives, property and peace is also equally important.
V. Somanna, as the elected representative of the constituency, has undertaken a significant initiative by transforming the five decade old Magadi Road Police Station into a modern, well-equipped facility. The new building provides a better working environment for police personnel while strengthening the maintenance of law and order.
The ground floor houses the Law & Order Wing, Traffic Police Wing, Sub-Inspector's room, Computer and Records Room, and the PSI cabin.
The first floor accommodates the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Division), the Crime Wing, Administrative Section, Counseling Hall, and the DCP's chamber.
The second floor includes a Control Room and a Gymnasium, while the entire building is equipped with elevator (lift) facilities.
This modern facility now brings the Office of the Deputy Commissioner of Police (West Division), the Magadi Road Police Station, and the Traffic Police Station together under one roof, ensuring greater efficiency and improved public service.
Govindarajanagara Constituency
Most parts of the Govindarajanagar Assembly Constituency were traversed by 66 kV High Tension (HT) overhead power lines. For nearly 35–40 years, thousands of families had been living beneath these high-tension transmission lines, posing serious safety concerns and affecting their quality of life.
To provide a permanent solution to this long-standing issue, discussions were held with the Hon'ble Chief Minister, following which the existing 5.5 km-long 66 kV HT overhead transmission line was converted into a 7.5 km underground cable network. This landmark project has significantly enhanced public safety while also improving the urban landscape.
The underground cable network passes through several areas of the Govindarajanagar Assembly Constituency, including Rajajinagar 6th Block, Industrial Area, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Playground, BRI Colony, Agrahara Dasarahalli, Govindarajanagar, Marenahalli, Maruthi Mandir, Chandra Layout, and Gangondanahalli, benefiting thousands of residents with a safer and more secure living environment.
