What happened
The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs stated in a Lok Sabha written reply that Integrated Command and Control Centres (ICCCs) are operational across all 100 Smart Cities under the Smart Cities Mission. ICCCs are presented as integrated “command-and-control” platforms used for real-time monitoring and data-driven urban management.
Background and earlier position
Within the Smart Cities Mission approach, ICCCs are positioned as platforms that bring together operational data from domains such as traffic management, solid waste management, water supply, street lighting, and public safety and emergency response systems. The intended outcome is evidence-based governance, improved operational efficiency, and proactive city management.
What changed now
The reported update is full operational coverage: ICCCs are stated to be operational in all 100 Smart Cities under the Smart Cities Mission. The Lok Sabha reply also lists practical use areas for ICCCs across multiple civic services and citizen-facing functions.
