A watch tower site would be set up for the Deepor Beel Development Project. However, the Forest Department is yet to issue the clearance certificate for the same. Under the Smart Electric Lighting of Guwahati Roads Project, a total of 135 roads in the city would be covered. Earlier, it was reported that the Assam Government will install 10,000 LED street lights too under the project. The lights will be installed under Project Jyoti, which is formulated by the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC), and it will be implemented under Guwahati Smart City Project.
