SRINAGAR: Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL), Dr Owais Ahmed, during a visit to the Karan Nagar area, said all ongoing projects under SSCL will be wrapped up within the next 45 days.
An official from Srinagar Smart City Limited said the completion of underground work will be followed by the macadamisation process. “All the projects of Smart City are progressing at a good pace and if the weather remains favourable, the entire work will be finished on time,” he said.
“The projects, undertaken in double shifts, are nearing their final stages and are set to bring much-needed relief to motorists and pedestrians alike,” he said.
“The Karan Nagar to Kak Sarai road has been a nightmare for commuters, especially during rainfall. We are hopeful that the completion of these projects will ease our daily travails and alleviate traffic congestion,” said a resident.
