The Indian Army has drawn a detailed plan to develop the Jaisalmer Military Station in Rajasthan as a smart facility on the pattern of Centre's Smart Cities, Defence spokesperson Lt Col Manish Ojha said in Jaipur today. He said, the plan has been formulated in consonance with the eight key areas identified by the central government for the development of Smart Cities. Lt Col Ojha said, provisions have been made for rainwater harvesting, centralised garbage disposal, solar-water heaters, solar-security lights, underground electric cabling, LED lighting and LPG supply through pipelines, he said.
A special ecology force has been mandated with planting one lakh trees every year. The station has also developed a herbal garden, the first in Jaisalmer.
