BUDGAM: Deputy Commissioner (DC) Budgam, Dr. Bilal Mohi-ud-din Bhat, today chaired a detailed review meeting to assess the operational and safety-related infrastructure issues of NIFT Budgam at DC office complex Budgam to ensure time-bound completion of all pending works.
The DC took stock of the overall physical progress of the campus, which is spread over 132 kanals of land provided by the Government, and comprises 22 planned buildings, of which 19 buildings are substantially complete. He observed that despite significant progress, several critical components remain pending, hindering the full operationalization of the campus.
The DC reviewed agenda-wise issues in detail and issued various directions. While reviewing HVAC Systems, the chair was informed that HVAC systems are malfunctioning in the Administrative Block, Academic Block, Girls’ Hostel, Guest House, Director’s Residence, and Residential Quarters, while installation and commissioning in the Boys’ Hostel remain pending.
The DC directed immediate technical inspection of all HVAC installations, rectification of faults, and time-bound commissioning to ensure proper heating and ventilation facilities across all buildings. He emphasized that given the prevailing climatic conditions, functional HVAC systems are essential for academic functioning and residential comfort.
Regarding the Electrical Sub-Station, the DC was apprised that substation works, including panels, DG sets, and transformers under Packages 2 and 3, are incomplete. The DC directed JK SIDCO and the concerned executing agency to expedite completion of all substation components and ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply to the campus. He instructed that necessary measures, including utilization of the contractor’s security deposits where required, be taken to avoid further delay.
Regarding the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), the meeting was informed that key components such as the main control panel, sludge drying beds, pumps, and recycled water pipelines are yet to be installed and commissioned.
The DC stressed the environmental significance of a fully functional STP and directed immediate installation and commissioning of all pending components to ensure proper wastewater treatment and compliance with environmental norms. He stated that sustainable infrastructure management is a priority and must not be compromised.
