Aurangabad towards smart city

                       Aurangabad towards smart city



              

         Aurangabad is a city in Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state in India. The city is a tourism hub and has many historical monuments including Bibi ka Maqbara, Daulatabad fort, Ajanta-Ellora caves and Panchakki etc. The city is famous for having 52 gates. So it is also known as ‘City of Gates’. But is Aurangabad a smart city or is it trying to become?


             The government is trying to develop the historic places first as it is often visited by tourists. Many bridges are built to avoid traffic and to make travelling easier. There is also a plan to make the Jalna road in six lanes. Various CCTV cameras are going to be installed at different places. Public transportation will be made available to all citizens. 24 hours power supply and drinking water facilities will be made available. Shendra industrial area will be converted into smart city. But there are also the arguments of the corporation that there is no money left for all these works.
                            

  On the other side there is a severe issue of sewage and garbage going on in the city. The residents of Naregaon where all the garbage is dumped are having many complaints as they have to suffer from many diseases due to that. Before making roads and developing city they should pay attention to such issues first.  Aurangabad has the potential to be the next destination of PM’s ambition ‘Make in India’. However the city has witnessed poor progress so far as implementation of smart city mission is concerned.

There are certain cases of farmer suicide due to unbearable burden of debt. Most of the suicides are seen in the areas of low rainfall and poorly irrigated regions. Another reason for this is shortage of money.                                              Many landless and poor farmers lack to invest in farming....
