The CSCL has also started identifying departments where current projects of the CSCL can be transferred. The matter will be discussed in the Board of Directors (BOD) meeting of CSCL,” sources revealed. The CSCL has worked with the Municipal Corporation, transport and police over installation of CCTVs, ITMS, (Intelligent traffic management system), ATCS, (adaptive traffic control system) and data collection of different departments. “As per contract ICCC will be managed by the BELL for five years and out of three, two years are still left, ICCC has huge manpower and technological infrastructure,” said another source. “CSCL has completed many crucial works, and both UT administration and central government has funded Rs 10 billion during these 8 years,” the source added.
