Srinagar: In a proactive effort to enhance urban infrastructure and public services, Commissioner, Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), Dr. Owais Ahmed chaired a comprehensive review meeting today to evaluate the Capital Expenditure (Capex) Plan.

This initiative is a key component of SMC’s broader strategy to address urban challenges and ensure the timely execution of projects aimed at significantly improving the quality of life for Srinagar’s residents.

The meeting began with the commissioner underlining the critical role of the Capex Plan in transforming urban landscape. “Our Capex Plan is not merely a financial blueprint; it is a commitment to the people of Srinagar.

During the meeting, officers from various departments presented detailed progress reports on ongoing projects.
