Pune : Policenama online – PMC Integrated Command and Control Centre | The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) will establish an Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) for city planning and disaster management to monitor its operations while coordinating with its departments and the PMPML, the city police and Pune Smart city. Deputy municipal commissioner Pratibha Patil will head the centre.

Various services and facilities are provided in the city by the civic body. Development works, repair and maintenance activities are continuously carried out by the PMC’s road, sewage, electrical, anti-encroachment, water supply, security, trees and garden, health and solid waste departments. All departments are interrelated for such works. For example, if the sewage department is doing some work, the water supply, electrical and road departments are also involved. While conducting these tasks, the traffic department also comes into the picture as traffic flow is disturbed. It becomes difficult on a daily basis to co-ordinate among various departments due to the enormity of operations. Hence, minor mishaps or traffic jams take place on a daily basis.
