INlD MP from Hisar, Dushyant Chautala on Tuesday in a meeting with Union Minister for Urban Development Venkaiah Naidu demanded to include Hisar in "smart city" project.
In a letter submitted to the Union Minister, Dushyant said geographically, Hisar is suitable for ‘smart city’ project, and it has infrastructure besides having an historic importance.
He said as union government has earmarked Rs 7,060 crores for developing 100 smart cities across the country, Hisar could be the best option for strong socio-educational development impacts on the region.
Dushyant added that as Hisar has already included in the list of developing it into a ‘Magnet City’ ‘with population of 17, 42,815, it also fit for the ‘smart city’ as well.
INlD MP also informed Naidu that this city already has three world class universities namely Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Guru Jambeshwar Science and Technology University and lala lajpat RaiAnimal Sciences University, besides having Army Cantonment and a BSF Batallion and ample opportunities in sports by Giri Centre and Mahavir Sports Stadium, which would glorify the ‘smart city’ tag, if the Union Government provide it to the people of Hisar district.
