G20-linked smart city projects in Srinagar on track

The government announced that 70 out of 120 smart city projects in Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, are progressing rapidly and nearing completion.

Athar Aamir Khan, CEO of Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL) and Commissioner of Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), said at a press conference that all the smart city initiatives, which were prioritised due to the upcoming G20 summit, have either been completed or are close to completion.

Significant progress has been made on various projects, including the renovation of Airport Road and Flyover, the illumination of the city, the wire-free and pedestrian-only Polo View market, and a section of MA Road.

Notably, Gupkar junction has been completed, and the illumination of several buildings, such as Press Enclave and SPS Library, has also been completed.

The SSCL CEO stressed that 70 of the 120 smart city projects are currently in progress. Some have already been completed, while others are scheduled to be completed in June this year. He assured that each project has a defined timeline.

Furthermore, he expressed confidence that the majority of the projects will be completed by December 2023. In addition, all work under the smart city project will be completed within the set deadline, as further initiatives will commence between December 2023 and June 2024, as mandated by the Government of India.
