In a significant move to accelerate key infrastructure projects in Jaipur, Jaipur Development Commissioner (JDC) Siddharth Mahajan conducted a detailed inspection of the Civil Lines Railway Overbridge (ROB) on Wednesday. During the visit, Mahajan issued clear directives to officials to eliminate both practical and legal obstacles that are impeding the timely completion of these crucial works.
Addressing Legal Complications in Land Acquisition
Officials briefed Mahajan on the challenges related to land acquisition necessary for constructing the service road towards Civil Lines. They highlighted that the process is currently entangled in legal complications, which are causing delays. In response, Mahajan instructed the officers to meticulously compile all relevant facts, records, and documents pertaining to the cases pending in court.
Seeking Expert Legal Guidance
To navigate these legal hurdles effectively, Mahajan directed the officials to seek expert legal opinion from the advocate general. This step aims to ensure that the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has a robust legal strategy in place.
Mahajan emphasized the importance of strong and effective representation for the JDA in the ongoing litigation. He stressed that the outcomes should align with public interest and firmly support the authority's position. By doing so, he aims to minimize delays caused by unresolved legal matters through coordinated legal and administrative actions.
Traffic Congestion Assessment at Sahakar Marg
Following the inspection of the ROB, Mahajan visited Sahakar Marg to assess the prevailing traffic conditions. He observed heavy congestion, particularly noting that the closure of the railway crossing at Imli Phatak whenever trains pass leads to severe bottlenecks and extended waiting times for commuters.
Technical Solutions for Traffic Reduction
To address this issue, Mahajan directed the director of engineering (I) to consult with technical experts. He ordered the preparation of a detailed plan based on their recommendations to effectively reduce traffic congestion in the area. This proactive approach underscores the commitment to improving urban mobility and infrastructure in Jaipur.
Overall, Mahajan's inspections and directives highlight a focused effort to overcome legal and practical challenges, ensuring that infrastructure development progresses smoothly and benefits the public efficiently.
