Politicians find place in Smart Cities project execution
Quote:
Now, each city will have a ‘Smart City Implementation and Review Committee’ comprising the MP, MLAs, leader of the Opposition party in the municipal corporation, the mayor among others. Chaired by the minister for Urban Development and co-chaired by the district in-charge minister, the committees are to take up regular review of the SPV decisions and ensure time-bound implementation, ensure public participation, resolve implementation problems and portray their respective cities as favourable investment destinations.

There was pressure on the UDD to give elected representatives a say in the project, because the onus of planning and implementation is with the SPV, according to Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs guidelines.
Due to pressure from real estate mafia & their political supporters capital cities were included in the smart city list. Let us hope our politicians will not find more ways to spoil smart city project.
