Hi all,
But it will be a difficult task for the NDMC to free the capital's showpiece hub of unauthorized hawkers, and strengthening the rainwater harvesting and refilling of the water table will also be undertaken. Health and safety of citizens will be the focus of special technology. Besides CCTV surveillance, air and noise pollution sensors will be installed at various places, while the electric poles will not only bear LED lights, but also controllers triggered by incidents such as a scream of panic.

And very soon the process of implementing the project will start with the setting up of the Special Purpose Vehicle, which will be granted complete flexibility in managing the exercise. It will appoint project management consultants for designing, developing, managing and implementing area-based projects.

Yes Richa,
While the 44-sq-km expanse administered by the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) can now look forward to the centre's financial obstruction, the areas governed by the 4 other urban bodies (North, East and South Municipal Corporations and the Delhi Cantonment Board) will have to wait for their time.

But the centre has proposed a 5-year time period for the completion of the project. Why NDMC is aiming at to complete in 4-yrs? The total capital expenditure will be Rs 1897 crore, of which the urban body will need to contribute Rs 604.74 crore, with the rest coming from the ministry of urban development, central schemes and public-private partnership funding.

One can see the redevelopment of 550 acres around Connaught Place into the New Delhi City Centre. The salient features of this include pedestrianization of the inner circle, e-surveillance, smart bus stops and toilets, rooftop solar panels, cycle tracks and sewage treatment plants.

Yes, by 2019-20, citizens can expect to see electric vehicles, mobile applications for advance booking of cycles to increase last mile connectivity, happiness areas where people can learn soft skills like playing a musical instrument or learn painting, and digital smart screens with information about the traffic, stock prices, temperature and sports scores. Does it not sound good enough?

Hi Pranay,
It is really a good news. And at the same time we should feel proud that we are among the first 20 cities. The news is not entirely disappointment for the capital's people. It is the only one among the selected cities not to have its entire area considered for increased amenities.
