The government makes plans made for setting up smart cities in Uttarakhand
Because of the insane amount of pressure rising upon cities such as Dehradun and Haridwar mostly since it has been rapidly urbanizing, the government of Uttarakhand has been working towards a plan which will develop a smart city within all the 13 districts.
Harish Rawat, the Chief Minister was responsible for making such a decision. The chief minister also declared that his officials will start preparing for this soon. There will be a separate master plan for all the small cities. Rapid urbanization should be stopped in all other cities. The government should not only focus on urban planning but also work towards conserving all natural resources.
The nagar nigams and the municipalities should make sure that the encroachment on the rivers do not occur. There should be planting of trees specifically in those areas where there is no greenery or very little greenery. The CM also expressed his concern over the Rajiv Gandhi Housing Scheme which has been progressing very slowly. Finally he makes an important point saying that officials who are responsible for this kind of work will be punished soon.
