Chandigarh: Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah said that Chandigarh is going to become the most disciplined and modern city of the country in the coming time.
He said that development works have been inaugurated and foundation stone has been laid, these include education, water supply in 6 villages, construction of bus depots in industrial area and construction of hostels for boys and girls. He said that the biggest task is to create an integrated command and control center, this integrated command center is going to bring about a drastic change in all areas of civil administration in Chandigarh in the coming days. He said that there will be monitoring of many civil facilities from a single command center and there will also be a system to upgrade them. This command center will create a new environment of traffic discipline including sending challans home for breaking rules, security of Chandigarh and sending a police team in a moment when any missing object is noticed.
Shah said that in a way, work is being done to bring all the civic amenities under one command center in Chandigarh. He requested the administrator of Chandigarh that a program should be made for all the school children up to class 12 to visit this command center so that they can understand it as future citizens.
Amit Shah said that a lot of work has already been done in Chandigarh, 40 electric buses have been given and work is going on to provide 40 buses. A lot of initiatives have also been taken to establish Chandigarh as a model solar city and perhaps India’s largest bike sharing system on PPP model is in Chandigarh itself, this has ensured a huge success in keeping the environment of Chandigarh clean.
He said that the Chandigarh Administration has also implemented the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana very well and the work of 100 peecent digitization of revenue records has also been completed. Perhaps Chandigarh will be the first city in the country where digitization has been completed.
