Govt has invested more than Rs 18 lakh cr in urban transformation since 2014: Hardeep Singh Puri

Mr Puri said, government is treating Indian cities as an



opportunity rather than a challenge. He added that the cities are the hubs of economic growth and innovation and country's economic progress lies in the productivity of its cities. He also said that Mayors and City Councils need empowerment as they have successfully demonstrated capability of driving global action at local level.
