JAMMU, Sept 24: The PDP-BJP coalition Government today finalized modalities with different stakeholders to secure place for Srinagar in the final list of Smart Cities that will be announced in January next year but nothing clear has been mentioned for Jammu city-which is winter capital of the State. It is only mentioned in the official handout that similar exercise "will" be conducted for Jammu city but it not mentioned when this exercise will be conducted?.
Importantly decision to finalize modalities for Srinagar city was taken in a high level meeting of the Housing and Urban Development Department (H&UDD), who is "officially" representing Jammu in the ministry. H&UDD discussed all aspects of getting Srinagar city declared as Smart City.
According to an official handout a high-level meeting was convened here today under the chairmanship of Commissioner Secretary, Housing and Urban Development Department,
Hridesh Kumar to discuss the modalities for securing a place for Srinagar in the Smart Cities list.
During the meeting, Kumar urged officers of different departments to synchronize their efforts for ensuring that the summer capital of the state makes it to the final list of Smart Cities which will be announced in January 2017.
A presentation was made at the meeting by the consultant - Voyants Partnering Vision (VPV) - engaged by Srinagar Municipal Corporation to prepare DPR for Srinagar city. The meeting was told that the firm successfully helped the Nagaland government in securing a place for Kohima in the recently announced Smart Cities list.
In their detailed presentation, the VPV consultants said a Smart City envisions wide spectrum development of urban components that provide residents smart solutions to make infrastructure and services better, and also enhance the quality of life.
Commissioner Secretary H&UDD, Mr Kumar directed the officers of PHE, PWD, I&FC, PDD and other departments to identify a nodal officers who will coordinate with the consulting firm for ensuring timely submission of data about Srinagar city which will be used to draw up proposal for development of Srinagar as Smart City.
Kumar said a similar exercise "will" be carried out in Jammu city so that both the twin capitals of Jammu and Kashmir make it to the final list of Smart Cities which, he said, is part of 'Agenda of the Alliance' of the Coalition Government. |
