    Our present mayor is doing a excellent job but our planning department for a smart city should be well educated or well trained in executing quality work. They should have a vision and should change their(chalta hai) attitude.they should think and plan for at least 50 to 100 years.
    1) Most importantly the need of the hour is best roads with foot path with enough parking.There should have multi level parking in commercial areas like main market, government offices, Schools which will generate revenue also. Roads are the back bone of the city.
    2) Most dangerous and neglected is stinking drainage system which breeds Mosquitoes.
    3)Proper supply of drinking water and electricity to the people.
    4)There should be best health and education system.
    5) all illegal constructions should be demolished and those responsible persons who gave permissions for construction should be punished.
    6) Plant more trees and educate people about environment and Swach Bharat.
