Muzaffarpur is the fourth most populous city in Bihar. As per census 2011, the city has around 50 lakh population.
With this population, the city doesn’t have a proper traffic controlling system.
Yesterday, a meeting was held between the officials of Muzaffarpur Smart City and a construction company called Shapoorji Pallonji Group.
In that meeting, the construction company showed the list of sites they surveyed where they want to install a Traffic Control System and Electronic Display Board to regulate the traffic in Muzaffarpur.
The construction company selects 27 sites where they want to install the Traffic Control System and 65 sites where they want to install the Electronic Display Board. In August this year, the city municipal corporation installed the first traffic system at the west end of Maripur overbridge.
Both these systems are planned to be installed under Muzaffarpur Smart City’s Integrated Command and Control Center project.
The CEO of Muzaffarpur Smart City, Bhudev Chakravarti saw the survey report and asked the company to complete installing the traffic control system and electronic display as soon as possible. In addition to both these systems, the CEO also ordered the company to install the CCTV camera as well at the desired places in the city.
It’s worth noting that all these systems are going to be controlled by the Integrated Command and Control Center that is planned to be built near the city’s Company Bagh.
