Centre to develop NE state capitals as smart cities
Nagaland Post | Agencies | New Delhi, May 3 ()
Capitals of all NE states— Kohima, Agartala, Shillong, Aizawl, Imphal, Itanagar and Gangtok — will be developed as smart cities under the government’s flagship programme. According to HT reports, the proposal to develop 100 smart cities, which was cleared by the union Cabinet last week, makes not only cities in the one to four million population range eligible to be developed as smart cities, but also capitals of smaller states which have less than one million people.
The criteria, urban development ministry (UD) officials said, would de-facto make the capital of all North Eastern states eligible. “Almost all capitals also happen to be the largest cities in their respective states,” said an official. The population criteria will also make Delhi, Srinagar, Goa, Shimla, Dehradun, Puducherry, Ranchi, Kavaratti, Chandigarh, Silvassa and Port Blair eligible to be developed.
