Parliamentary Panel Reviews Smart City And Urban Projects In Srinagar

A parliamentary standing committee reviewed progress on the smart city and broader urban infrastructure projects in Srinagar, examining implementation status, timelines and administrative coordination. The committee held discussions with state government representatives, municipal corporation officials and implementing agencies and examined detailed project reports, stressing the need for clear milestones and accountable execution. It directed officials to provide consolidated updates and to streamline approvals to reduce procedural delays while ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.

The review covered key sectors including water supply and sewerage systems, drainage and flood mitigation, urban mobility and road improvements, solid waste management and the conservation of historic urban precincts. The committee emphasised integrated planning that balances modern infrastructure with heritage protection and resilience to seasonal floods, and it urged closer coordination among agencies to align technical designs with local needs. Officials were advised to prioritise interventions that deliver visible improvements for residents.

Members pressed for strengthened project monitoring through enhanced use of digital dashboards and periodic audits and recommended capacity building within municipal departments to speed up execution. They called for timely release of sanctioned funds and clearer reporting of fund utilisation to facilitate uninterrupted work on ground while adhering to environmental and procurement norms. The panel sought action plans that map out short term and medium term activities and set realistic targets for completion.

Officials were asked to submit revised timelines, detailed implementation schedules and status updates ahead of the committee's next review to enable focused oversight. The committee indicated that its continued engagement would aim to ensure that investments translate into citizen centric services, improved urban amenities and sustainable development of the city while safeguarding cultural heritage. Follow up visits and progress appraisals were signalled to reinforce accountability and expedite delivery.
