**Action Required**
The Council must appoint the designated members to the committee and provide necessary administrative approvals for major construction projects.
**Vice-Chancellor and Registrar**
**Impact**
The Vice-Chancellor assumes leadership of the committee with emergency executive powers, while the Registrar takes on the administrative duties of the committee's Secretary.
**Action Required**
The Vice-Chancellor must nominate the required technical experts and engineers to the committee and convene meetings at least twice annually.
