He said that electricity needs to be produced with carbon nano tube in future. If every home gets a 3kgwatt solar panel of rs.2 lacs, a unit of around 4,500 electricity will be produced out of it. G. S. Tak- retired engineer of public construction department said that keeping the population of 8 lac in mind, the city should be planned accordingly for flyover, underpasses and road networks.

A floating platform on Pichola and Gangaur Ghat, A 4 feet wide bridge at Amba Mata Puliya and underpass on Thokar Choraya needs to be built. Dr. L. K. Bhatnagar- ex-head of RNT Medical College told about another required aspect of a smart city which is Telemedicine.

Dr. L. L. Dhakar-retired director of MPUAT told that there is no need of flyovers in the city and the problem can be easily solved by road networks. He also told that if govt. Offices are shifted to their reserved places, many problems will be solved.
