Centralised system to monitor progress of urban infrastructure in UP soon
Lucknow: The urban development department is developing a scheme monitoring system (SMS) to keep track of upgradation of the urban infrastructure in the state.
Under it, a total of 3,062 civil projects under the CM Nagriye Alpaviksit Scheme and CM Malin Basti Scheme (slum resettlement) are being undertaken in UP at present.
Similarly, a total of 335 infrastructure projects related to roads, footpaths, beautification, street lighting, and green cover (parks and gardens) are being executed across 762 urban local bodies in UP.
Officials said an SMS platform is being set up to monitor all the ongoing civic projects being executed with a budget of Rs 3,500 crore in towns with populations between 1 lakh and 10 lakh.
A high-level meeting was held at the urban body directorate to review the progress of major schemes operating under the department.
The meeting was attended by chief engineers, executive engineers, assistant engineers, and junior engineers from all municipal corporations and urban bodies across the state.
Secretary of the department and director of Urban Local Bodies Anuj Kumar Jha sought the latest progress of major schemes such as the CM Vatsala Ya Scheme, CM-Green Road Infrastructure Development Scheme (CM-GRID), Urban Flood Management & Storm Water Drainage under the monitoring system.

The leadership team comprising senior engineers provided technical information about the scheme's objectives, benefits, and action plan. It was clarified that action plans prepared by bodies should be sent to the govt through the portal after approval from the relevant committee.
Principal secretary Amrit Abhijat directed engineers to ensure all works are completed within the stipulated timeframe with high quality.
The meeting also provided information about the online road repository developed by the urban road infrastructure development authority (URIDA), which is an effective tool for better management of urban roads. Through this repository, data on road location, width, length, maintenance status, and repair requirements can be collected as assets and liabilities to implement schemes in a rational and effective manner.
It was explained that each urban body must plan its rainwater drainage system according to its catchment area to address waterlogging issues during monsoons.
Instructions were also given to regularly upload information about these projects on the scheme portal to strengthen the monitoring system.
The meeting also reviewed development work at historically, mythologically, religiously, and culturally significant sites in urban areas under the Vandan Scheme.
"Smart management, technical innovation, and effective monitoring can give new direction to the state's cities," said Abhijat.
