The Varanasi Municipal Corporation (VMC) received good response of citizens regarding the second round of the proposal of Smart City Project via online and offline platforms this year.

Municipal commissioner Shrihari Pratap Shahi said, "The involvement of citizens in governance is important to make the city smarter. We received an overwhelming response from the people, both on offline and online. In offline medium, we got more than 4,32,000 responses." Last year, the corporation received about 1,50,000 responses offline.

The second round started from April 1 and the Smart City proposal needs to be sent to ministry of urban development by June end.

About one-third of the total population of 15 lakh was covered by VMC officials via offline mediums like public consultation, workshops, essay and debate competition in schools and colleges, among others.

The introduction of Ganga, Varuna and Assi riverfront under area-based development was appreciated by the people who voted in favour of the idea. Out of the various options like Sarnath, old city and Ganga-Varuna-Assi riverfront, the maximum votes came for old Kashi (56%), followed by the riverfront (36%). About 70% also voted for e-governance and citizen services, he said.
