Dimapur: Nagaland Governor Nand Kishore Yadav reviewed the status of the Kohima Smart City project at a meeting with officials of the Kohima Smart City Development Limited (KSCDL) at Lok Bhavan in Kohima on Friday.
During the meeting, officials presented a detailed overview of the progress, achievements and current status of projects under the Kohima Smart City Mission.
The presentation stated that Kohima was selected under the Smart Cities Mission on September 20, 2016. The KSCDL was subsequently formed as the special purpose vehicle in March 2017.
The presentation stated that 34 projects sanctioned under the mission had been completed, while six additional projects were also completed, taking the total to 40 projects.
The officials apprised the governor of major projects and urban infrastructure developed under KSCDL, including the Kohima City Centre, hotel building, commercial complex, multi-level car parking facilities, mini sports complex, Kohima Local Ground, Capital Cultural Hall, community halls, accessible footpaths and other public amenities.
The projects cover areas such as urban amenities, mobility, smart services, public spaces and city centre infrastructure.
The review also covered the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), which has been completed and commissioned.
Officials said the ICCC presently supports 24×7 CCTV surveillance, traffic management, ANPR-based vehicle monitoring, public safety and security, police coordination and investigation-related surveillance support.
They said CCTV surveillance is available at 80 locations across Kohima, while the presentation recorded a 76.47% success rate in cases where ICCC surveillance data assisted investigations from November 2025 to September 2026.
The governor was also briefed on the future institutional arrangement of KSCDL following the conclusion of the Smart Cities Mission on March 31, 2026.
The presentation noted that several revenue-generating urban assets established under the mission are operational, with the revenue intended to support additional public amenities and services.
The continuation and future role of the SPV beyond the mission period remains under consideration by the state government, the governor was told.
