The State government had sanctioned ₹1,196 crore for the project. He also noted that the Chief Minister and the R&B Minister were closely monitoring the progress on a regular basis.
TIMS Alwal works cross 70 percent physical progress
According to officials, workers have completed all structural works at the TIMS Alwal site. Meanwhile, nearly 95 per cent of brickwork and plastering has been finished. Mechanical, electrical and plumbing works have reached about 60 per cent completion. In addition, flooring and painting works have progressed to nearly 50 per cent.
