Smart Cities of Bengal in Union List

The Ministry of Urban Development released today a list of 98 smart cities of India. In West Bengal, the following four figure:

New Town Kolkata, Bidhannagar, Durgapur, Haldia.

I spoke to Mayor Durgapur Municipal Corporation, Administrator Bidhannagar, CEO NKDA and DMs of North 24-Paraganas, East Midnapore and Burdwan, with a request to take action for Smart City Plan (SCP). In fact the MoUD will hold a meeting on preparation of SCP, with all stakeholders on 11 September at Kolkata where  Union Minister Hon'ble Shri Venkaiah Naidu will be present too. (Chairman Haldia is out of station, it seems)
