She emphasised that the facility’s capabilities would be instrumental in presenting Bhubaneswar as a hub of smart, sustainable, and citizen-friendly practices. 

As per an official release, the command centre operates under the direct supervision of Dr. N. Thirumal Naik, Vice Chairman of the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA). Officers from various departments, including Health & Family Welfare, Tourism, TPCODL, WATCO, BSNL, Commissionerate Police, Fire Services, and Transport, have been designated for first response and effective coordination.
