Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has approved an allocation of Rs 510.57 million for the renovation of roads and construction of new bridges in Palitana, a prominent Jain pilgrimage site. This approval is part of a broader initiative to improve infrastructure across the state.

In a recent move, the Chief Minister approved Rs 22.69 billion for projects aimed at upgrading roads connecting 44 tourist destinations across Gujarat. Of this, Rs 400.50 million has been designated for the development of six roads and bridges in Palitana, covering a total length of 24.90 km.

The latest approval of Rs 510.57 million focuses on the construction of new roads and bridges over an 800-meter stretch, further enhancing access to the pilgrimage site. In total, the Chief Minister has allocated Rs 920.07 million for the improvement of 25.70 km of roads leading to Palitana.

These infrastructure improvements are expected to significantly enhance the safety and accessibility of the area for both pedestrians and travellers. The upgraded roads will reduce travel time to the site and help alleviate traffic congestion, particularly at the Palitana-Talaja road junction. This development will also benefit local residents and traders, stimulating further economic growth in the region and contributing to the overall development of the Palitana pilgrimage area.
