Srinagar, July 20: Awami Ittehad Party on Monday expressed grave concern over the widespread waterlogging witnessed across Srinagar following heavy rainfall, saying the recurring crisis has exposed glaring failures in urban planning despite huge public expenditure under the Srinagar Smart City Project. In a statement, AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said it is deeply unfortunate that over ₹792 crore has already been spent under the Srinagar Smart City Project since its inception, while the overall Smart City proposal for Srinagar envisaged projects worth more than ₹3,600 crore, yet large parts of the city continue to get submerged after every spell of heavy rain. The AIP spokesperson said the government must fix accountability instead of treating every rainfall as an emergency. "The people do not need temporary dewatering operations after every shower. Inam Un Nabi further demanded an independent review of all drainage-related works executed under the Srinagar Smart City Project and by the Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC), saying responsibility must be fixed wherever public funds have failed to deliver the intended results.
