Command control centre to turn into data hub

​Hyderabad: State government is planning to develop the command control centre coming up in the city as a state-level data centre. 

Chief Secretary SK Joshi held a meeting with various departments and asked the officials to prepare action plan for the purpose. The Chief Secretary said that the command control centre will act as state-level crisis management centre in addition to housing multi departmental operations on a day to day basis. 

The centre is being set up in line with the global best practices and plays a key role in enabling seamless coordination between multiple agencies involved in responding to normal day or emergency operations and disaster management situations. 

The data available with different departments will be integrated and as such there is a need to develop the necessary software, the Chief Secretary observed.

The centre will facilitate Municipal, Energy, Irrigation, Panchayat Raj, Transport, General Administration, Metro Rail and Planning departments to use the data.  Similarly, CCTV installed by the police will help in finding condition of cars, potholes, removal of debris, transport of garbage, traffic congestion and recognition of number plates. 

Joshi said, the staff working at the field level will analyse the data available at the state-level departments. The departments will work in tandem and close coordination during important events. 

Mapping of government properties, geo tagging, weather information, water levels in various irrigation projects, situation of crops, power breakdown, accident prone areas, forest cover and all other information will be obtained through technology, he added.  Special Chief Secretaries Ajay Mishra, Rajeshwar Tiwari were present at the meeting.
