SRINAGAR: Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Anshul Garg on Thursday directed the National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC) to complete all pending works on the Greater Srinagar Comprehensive Sewerage Scheme within one month and subsequently hand over the project to the Urban Environmental Engineering Department (UEED).

Garg also directed the Executive Engineer of UEED to inspect the site twice a week to monitor progress, improve coordination among the departments concerned and ensure that the remaining works are completed within the stipulated timeframe.
The meeting was attended by the Deputy Commissioner Srinagar, Chief Engineer of UEED, General Manager of NBCC, and officers from the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL), Public Health Engineering (PHE), Roads and Buildings Department, and Srinagar Municipal Corporation.
