CEO Athar Aamir Khan of Srinagar Smart City Limited (SSCL) provided a comprehensive overview of both completed and ongoing projects undertaken by SSCL during a recent presentation. He underscored the transformative changes witnessed in key areas of Srinagar city, notably the Jhelum Riverfront, Central Business District (CBD) Lal Chowk, Polo High Street, and MA Road. These spaces, once neglected, have now evolved into vibrant hubs of social and business activities, fostering a thriving atmosphere in Srinagar. One of the focal points of the presentation was the successful revitalization of Dal Lake Front, where a continuous 5.10km cycle track has been established along the pristine lakeside. This development has significantly enhanced the appeal of the Dal Lakefront, attracting numerous visitors well into the late evening, and contributing to its newfound vibrancy. |
