Department of Urban Development has appealed to the public to cooperate with it for successful implementation of central projects especially the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) since the Mission is time bound. Speaking after inaugurating the footpath at East Police Station Dimapur on Saturday, Advisor Urban Development, SI Jamir called for effectively activating different central projects in the state and appealed to the public for their cooperation as the efforts of the Department alone would not suffice for success of any project. He said AMRUT scheme was time bound and it seeks to transform existing towns and cities.
Secretary, Urban Development, M Lotha informed that Kohima and Dimapur have been included under AMRUT which sets one lakh population as criteria to be chosen under the scheme and that it was a Rs 120 crore project for the two cities. He said any project under AMRUT has to be completed by 2019 as the Mission is valid till that time. In this connection, he appealed the public to extend their support and cooperation to the Department while acquiring land and any other logistic supports. Any disturbances faced by the Department from the public, he stated, would result in a loss for the citizens since the Mission will remain valid only for three years.
The Secretary said that water supply and sanitation, drainage, footpath etc were some of the priorities to be taken up under AMRUT and urged the people to take full advantage of it.
DMC officials led by its Administrator, Moa Sangtam, DAN Senior Executive Officer, Noleto Visa, Urban Development officials, GBs and chairmen of various colonies were also present at the programme.
