Agra’s New Commissionerate to Include High-Tech War Room for Video Surveillance

Lucknow/Agra : The Uttar Pradesh government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has developed a comprehensive action plan to enhance the security infrastructure of the state. A key component of this plan includes the expedited construction of a new Commissionerate Building in Agra and the development of residential and non-residential buildings in the GRP Line area.

The Planning Department has initiated the process of appointing and allocating a project management consultancy agency to oversee these projects, as directed by CM Yogi.

The new Commissionerate Building in Agra, to be built at a cost of Rs 65 crore, will feature various modern facilities, including an advanced dedicated war room for surveillance and video monitoring. This facility will enable comprehensive surveillance and monitoring across the Agra region.

Additionally, the residential and non-residential buildings in the GRP Line area will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 55 crore. These buildings will feature futuristic designs and advanced civic amenities.

According to CM Yogi’s vision, all construction and development work for the new Commissionerate Building and GRP Line in Agra will be carried out in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) mode.

The target is to complete the construction and development of the new Commissionerate Building within 18 months of the determination and allocation of the PMC agency.

In this sequence, the agency will prepare the architectural design and detailed project report within the first 75 days. Upon approval, construction work will commence. The PMC agency will also be responsible for a defect liability period of 36 months during this time.

Simultaneously, the construction and development of residential and non-residential buildings on 2.12 acres in the GRP Line area will also be completed within 18 months following the appointment and allocation of the agency.

The agency is required to prepare the architectural design and detailed project report (DPR) within the first 75 days. Additionally, a defect liability period of 36 months will apply to this project as well.

It is anticipated that the process of appointing and allocating the agency will be completed in August, paving the way for expedited progress on both projects.

All construction activities will adhere to the Energy Conservation Building Code. The projects will incorporate the latest innovative technologies and comply with the standards set by the Building Material and Technology Promotion Council.

The buildings will be equipped with advanced features including automatic fire fighting and alarm systems, solar water heaters, CCTV, lifts, electric substations, and solar power generation units.

Before starting the construction, the designated PMC agency will prepare a detailed master plan, incorporating architectural design, concept plans, 3D views, and an animated walkthrough model.

Construction will proceed rapidly only after approval of this plan. All construction activities will be monitored to minimize noise and air pollution, ensuring that the work remains environmentally friendly.

As part of the plan, the new Commissionerate Building will feature a functional medical unit designed to operate like a hospital. This unit will include an operating theatre, ICU, and CCU facilities, and will be equipped with a medical gas, compressed air, and steam PNG supply system.

Additionally, the building will have a bulk storage system, a centralized kitchen, and a hospital waste management system. The new Commissionerate Building is set to be a state-of-the-art facility designed with future needs in mind. Similarly, the residential and non-residential buildings in the GRP area will be constructed and developed using futuristic design and technology.
