Union Urban Development Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu has assured the Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat that Dehradun will be included in the government;s ‘100 smart city project’.
Naidu, at a meeting with the CM, said, “The projects which are not even 50 per cent complete, will be put under new schemes and will get funds. Those which are either complete or even half done under schemes like Rajiv Awas Yojana and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan till 2014, will get funds.”
Naidu also said the Centre and the state governments should work in tandem for the country to progress. According to Naidu, “After election results, everyone should come together to be part of the same party… the ‘development party’, the ‘progress party’.”
