Need To Expedite The Completion Of Industrial Smart Cities. on 6 May, 2015
Sixteenth Loksabha an> Title: Need to expedite the completion of industrial smart cities.
SHRI S.P. MUDDAHANUME GOWDA (TUMKUR): Sir, I would like to draw the kind attention of the Government of India to the announcement made in the Budget for 2014-15 about three new smart cities, namely Ponneli in Tamil Nadu, Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh and Tumkur in Karnataka in Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor. But so far there is absolutely no progress in this regard even after a lapse of one year. In the implementation status report as on 30.1.2015, it is stated by the Government of India that the master planning for these three industrial nodes in the Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor region is likely to be completed by March 2015. But we are yet to see any progress.
Hence I urge upon the Government of India to take up these projects of industrial smart cities immediately and complete them as early as possible as promised in the Budget for 2014-15.
