Haryana chief secretary Sanjeev Kaushal on Thursday said the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), the key component of the Smart City Project, will be established in every district of the state.

Presiding over a review meeting of a committee constituted under the ICCC projects, Kaushal said ICCC will support in fetching real-time information and enhance security and surveillance, traffic management, solid waste management, and e-governance applications. He said the state government is already running pilot projects in three districts namely Gurugram, Faridabad, and Karnal which are yielding outstanding results.

“This project will prove to be a milestone in curbing crime while ensuring transparency in every nook and corner of the state,” the chief secretary. He said the government will frame its own model of implementing this visionary plan as it will eliminate the dependency on the third party. Kaushal said the project will be reviewed every five years for the upgradation of the smart systems and to meet the gaps.

The key project components include civil infrastructure, smart solutions, sensors, cameras, and other devices and IT infrastructure. “Extensive discussion also took place regarding the existing private camera integration with ICCC platforms and its network provisioning which will expand the horizon of monitoring through command centres,” the chief secretary said. He said the proposed draft along with a detailed presentation will be presented to the Chief Minister.
