During an interaction with the media, Khan, who also serves as the Commissioner of Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), mentioned that 11 projects, including a major one, have been completed since the conclusion of the G-20 event in Srinagar. He added that work is underway at various locations in Srinagar, including downtown areas.
