Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar highlighted the critical issues posed by urbanisation's rapid growth, attributing it to increasing populations in urban centers. In response, the Centre has initiated regional meetings to address diverse urban development challenges.
The recent meeting included regions such as Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, focusing on infrastructure and cooperative federalism, which Khattar deemed essential for nation-building. Different urban projects, including metro and public-private ventures, were discussed, emphasizing individual city needs.
