Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) is set to install LED smart screens at six major intersections which will broadcast information about the weather and social slogans to commuters at a quick speed, officials said Sunday.
The LED screens will be installed at Pari Chowk, Alpha Commercial Belt, Greater Noida Authority Office, Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, Dadri Railway Station, and Knowledge Park II which receive maximum traffic, modelled on the smart screen installed at ITO Delhi, said officials.
Social slogans on water conservation, sanitation, and security would be heard and displayed on these screens for 15 minutes every hour and GNIDA has put out the Request For Proposal (RFP) for their installation, they added.
The cost of installation will be borne by the company selected through the RFP process and it will also be granted the right to advertise for five years so that it can meet its expenses. The installation, operation, and maintenance of the LED screen will be the responsibility of the selected company, according to the officials.
