The Greater Chennai Corporation has floated tenders worth ₹3.8 crore for setting up Regional Integrated Command and Control Centres (RICCCs) in north, central and south regions. These regional hubs will replicate the core functionalities of the main Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) at Rippon Buildings, and serve as mini-control centres for faster and region-specific responses to civic issues across the 15 zones.

The regional centres aim to enhance the real-time monitoring of urban functions such as flood levels, traffic control, and civic field operations. Each centre will be equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, including video display walls, operator consoles, and secure cloud connectivity to the ICCC platform.
