According to R. The Minister of Revenue, Ashoka said that nearly 108 teams have been established to attain the goal, and will be starting from August 16, where all members will be subjected to a door-to-door health check-up in Bengaluru. Following the meeting, the minister issued a statement saying that the zones of Bommanahalli, Yelahanka, and Mahadevapura are seeing more cases, while other zones are seeing less.
