NEW DELHI: As it looks to firm up its smart city plan, the Centre will hold a wide-ranging meeting with all state governments on Sept. 12 to decide on the broad framework of the NDA dispensation's ambitious project.The Centre is in the advanced stages of finalising the contours of the smart city project, Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu said here today.In its maiden budget, NDA government has announced a plan to develop 100 smart cities in the country. UD Ministry , the nodal ministry for the mega project, is holding extensive discussions with all concerned to formulate an action plan for the enterprise."I am holding wide-ranging discussions with stakeholders, including states, Members of Parliament, urban local bodies. Some foreign countries have also shown interest in the project," Naidu said.Round-the-clock supply of water and electricity, improved public transportation system, modern amenities, e-governance and clean and green environment are some of the parameters for the proposed smart cities."It is the urban local bodies and state governments which will have a vital role in the execution of the project. We have to take the state governments on board. We have called a meeting of all state governments on Sept. 12 regarding the project," he said.On the development of Andhra Pradesh and the newly-created state of Telangana, Naidu said the Centre will support both states and there will be no partiality towards any one of them.As to the selection of a capital city for residual Andhra Pradesh post its bifurcation, he said that the decision in that regard "should be left to the state government and the Sivaramakrishnan Committee recommendations. We will go with the state government on this issue".Meanwhile, responding to criticism of the government over the issue of the clean-up of Ganga river, he said, "It is unfair criticism by the Opposition. Cleaning the Ganga was not possible within 100 days."He added, however, that the rejuvenation of the Ganga would be achieved "as soon as possible."
