CHENNAI: Chennai has bagged two awards at the Indian Smart Cities Award Contest (ISAC) 2021, organised by the Centre’s Smart Cities Mission. One was for its ‘restoration of water bodies’ project. The other was for its response to Covid-19.

At least 210 waterbodies in and around Chennai were restored and over `193.74 crore was spent on the project, said the Corporation. To ensure that waterbodies are restored properly and sustained, a detailed plan has been chalked out by the authorities.
