In a bid to bring Gurugram on the world map, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday announced to develop it as the ‘smartest city’.
For this, the CM also proposed to set up a new municipal corporation in Manesar and develop a new Gurugram city in that area.
Khattar was speaking after virtually inaugurating Project Air Care and two plans for the beautification of the gateway of Gurugram.
The CM said Gurugram and Faridabad being the metropolitan cities of the National Capital Region (NCR), separate Metropolitan Development Authorities had already been constituted for both the cities.
The Chief Minister said along with Gurugram and Faridabad, Karnal had also been included in the Smart City project. In these cities, there is a need to develop facilities such as water management, security system, public transport, buildings, good governance, e-education, telemedicine in accordance with smart norms and infrastructure. He said the two projects inaugurated on Wednesday were a part of this plan.
