Mr.Yadav shared with the audience that it is a golden opportunity for all of them to have a say in the manner in which the city needs to shape and improve.  He asked everyone to highlight their concerns in the feedback forms whether they were regarding inefficient garbage disposal, inadequate parking spaces, neglected pedestrian crossings, need for cycling tracks or public toilets or public transport etc.  He said that now the city would be competing to be amongst the 20 cities which will be funded and developed by the Central Government as Smart Cities in the first stage of Smart City Project.
