US deligates rejected vizag metroThe delayed local body elections of Vishakapatnam may prove to be dangerous for the port city as the United States which promised to make it a smart city is now reconsidering its opinion. Recently a team of US delegates visited Vishakapatnam and gauged the various opportunities and challenges in the city.

They were not interested in imposing the idea on people with out seeking their participation. They feel Vizag is a big city with no uniformity of requirements or needs. It would need the help from local representatives to carry out the smart mission.

The officials help even though on offer will not help the cause so much as they are mostly limited by their professional definitions and limits. The state government should step in and solve this deadlock or else the port city will lose a historic chance.
