He said at the time, CReLIC will become a complete knowledge repository of LGED – how to institutionalise the project needs to be decided quickly.

Coming to the mid-point of the project, it cannot be said that our concept is not transparent," Mohsin said, adding that if any change is to be made in the project, it is necessary to be sure how the change will benefit and what we expect from this change.
