SRINAGAR: Ahead of the G20 meeting, Srinagar Smart City is revamping and repairing security bunkers by converting them into “smart bunkers” at various locations.
A contractor has been assigned to construct smart bunkers at seven sites in Srinagar city. “It is part of the facelift and repair of the bunkers ahead of the G20 meeting,” he said, adding, “I have only been assigned seven sites.”
Preparations for the upcoming G20 meeting are in full swing, with authorities in the valley fast-tracking work to ensure completion before the event. The city is undergoing a makeover with newly laid footpaths and realigned roads.
Visibly, the smart bunkers consist of iron net protection with bulletproof shields inside them. The outer layer is covered with photos of tourist spots in the valley.
The task of renovating the existing security bunkers as part of beautification in the valley has been given to Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL). (KNO)
