The committee also approved installation of 235 CCTV cameras in Sadar Bazar and technology upgrades, including electromagnetic flow meters, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems and Remote Terminal Unit panels at MCG boosting stations to improve monitoring of the city’s water supply.

Priority was given to long-pending works across several wards, including laying and augmentation of water supply and sewer lines, road reconstruction, and stormwater drainage. The panel also approved the creation of a reserve store for emergency response during the monsoon season.
