NEW DELHI: Navy Chief Admiral R Hari Kumar inaugurated residential buildings comprising 600 flats at Amadhalli and Arga Naval Base during his visit to Naval Base Karwar on Monday, a press release from the Navy said.
The 10 residential towers have been provisioned with modern amenities, improved interiors, landscaping and external services. These infrastructure developments are part of ongoing Phase IIA of Project Seabird, which will house around 10,000 uniformed and civilian personnel with families, the release said.
The ongoing construction has created numerous direct and indirect jobs. The project aligns with the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ initiative of the central government, sourcing over 90 per cent of material domestically.
The Chief of Naval Staff praised the Project Seabird effort in the creation of high-quality defence infrastructure and urged expeditious completion of remaining facilities, the release added. (ANI)
