SRINAGAR: In a continued effort to strengthen field-level monitoring and ensure efficient civic service delivery, Faz Lul Haseeb, Chief Executive Officer, Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL), conducted an on-site inspection of Goni Khan Market, one of the city’s prominent and busiest commercial centres.

During the visit, the CEO interacted with traders, shopkeepers, and local stakeholders to assess the condition of civic infrastructure and obtain first-hand feedback on issues affecting the day-to-day functioning of the market. Various concerns relating to sanitation, drainage management, and public utility services were brought to his notice during the interaction.

Taking immediate cognizance of the issues raised, the CEO issued on-the-spot directions to the concerned wings for their prompt redressal. The Drainage Wing was instructed to clear existing bottlenecks and ensure the proper functioning and regular maintenance of the drainage network in and around Goni khan Market to prevent inconvenience to traders, commuters, and pedestrians.

The inspection also included a review of the proposed connection of a feeder pillar with the main power cabling. It was informed that the work had faced interruptions due to objections raised by the Goni Khan Market Coordination Committee. Taking note of the matter, the CEO directed the Chief Engineer, SSCL, to engage with the concerned stakeholders and the committee to resolve the issue amicably and ensure that the feeder pillar is connected with the main power cabling at the earliest, facilitating the smooth functioning of the electrical infrastructure.

The visit underscores the administration’s continued emphasis on proactive field engagement, coordinated departmental action, and time-bound grievance redressal aimed at strengthening civic amenities and enhancing the overall urban experience in Srinagar.

The CEO was accompanied by the Chief Engineer, SSCL; Chief Sanitation Officer, Srinagar Municipal Corporation; Executive Engineer (MCD Wing); AEE Mechanical (Left Sub-Division); Executive Engineer (CDC); along with other senior officials from SSCL and SMC.
