Karnataka Govt Initiates Probe into Smart City Project Quality

Urban Development Minister BS ‘Bairati’ Suresh has ordered a thorough investigation into six Smart City projects in Karnataka, excluding Bengaluru, due to concerns over their quality and focus. During a review meeting, he expressed dissatisfaction with fund allocations, noting that much of the budget was spent on temporary infrastructure, such as roads and drainage, instead of permanent assets like smart schools, hospitals, and libraries. The minister instructed the Urban Development Department Secretary to form a committee of experts to investigate and submit a report within three months.

Chalai Project to Take New Turn

The Chalai Heritage Street project under Thiruvananthapuram Smart City will undergo significant changes after the initial plan to replicate Kozhikode's SM Street model was dropped due to funding shortages from the Smart City project. Tourism Minister PA Mohammed Riyas will chair a meeting this month to finalise the revised project features, with funding now secured by combining tourism and Smart City resources. Renovation of eight roads leading to the market is ongoing, with completion expected by mid- January. The revised plan aims for completion by March. The project will prioritise road connectivity without evacuating traders, with enhancements to make the market pedestrian-friendly and aesthetically improved.
