Smart city works in Nashik to continue, ET RealEstate
NASHIK: Although the smart city mission ended on March 31 this year, the Nashik Municipal Smart City Development c Ltd (NMSCDCL) will undertake works within or outside the city limits.
The directorial board (DB) of the NMSCDCL on Friday gave its approval to the smart city corporation’s proposal to amend norms to undertake works outside the smart city mission, either within or outside Nashik city. Accordingly, the smart city corporation will be able to get work from other govt organisations.
NMSCDCL has already been given work of installing CCTV, in view of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Under this project, over 3,500 CCTV cameras will be installed in the city.
“As the smart city mission is over, there were guidelines from the entral govt to the corporation to become self-sustainable by using its expertise and providing consultancy services. With this amendment, we will be able to undertake any work outside Nashik city. We will even be able to participate in the tender process of the Kumbh Mela or other work projects, said Sumant More, CEO of NMSCDCL.
“We have already received the CCTV camera installation project for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. We are conducting the survey to identify the locations for the installation of the cameras to help the authorities manage crowds and monitor surveillance,” he said.
Divisional commissioner of Nashik Praveen Gedam chaired the meeting. NMC commissioner Manisha Khatri, the district collector Jalaj Sharma and other directors attended the board meeting of the smart city corporation.
