To bolster the city’s parking infrastructure, the Divisional Commissioner instructed the development of surface parking at Children’s Hospital, JVC, and Chattabal, while directing the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC) to relocate kiosks at Jahangir Chowk to expand available space.
The meeting also confirmed that e-bus charging stations at Zoonimar will be functional by mid-February, with work at the Batamaloo station commencing on February 15.
