Srinagar May 17: Minister for Finance, A R Rather has expressed serious concern over the delay in the completion of Excise and Taxation Complex at Rambagh here. The construction work of the complex has been entrusted to JKPCC. Reviewing the pace of work over the project being constructed in the heart of the city here today Rather said it was unfortunate that the targets had not been achieved despite availability of adequate funds.
 Managing Director JKPCC   Tahseen Mustafa informed the meeting that Rs. 22 crore have been utilised over the project up to ending April 2010 and 80 per cent of the work have been completed.  He said that out of the total cost of Rs. 30.41 crore, Rs. 1.66 crore have been spent for additional modification and Rs. 1.50 crore for construction of alternate approach road to the project. He said that continued bad weather has played hide and seek with the works and assured that the project would be completed very soon. Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar   Mehraj-ud-din Kakroo while briefing the meeting informed that the approached road could not be taken off because the place where from it starts was used for construction of flyover.
