Rajasthan CM advocates Jaipur Metro as national development model

Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma convened a meeting with officials of Jaipur Metro Rail Corporation (JMRC) concerning the new phase of the metro. During the meeting, he instructed them to prepare a fresh Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the extension of the metro from Sitapura to Ambabadi and Vidyadhar Nagar.

Chief Minister Sharma held a meeting with the JMRC officials at the Chief Minister's Office. He emphasised the government's commitment to ensuring seamless transportation for Jaipur residents, aiming to position the development of Jaipur Metro as a model metro system nationwide. He stated, "The state government's priority is to provide easy transportation facilities to the people of Jaipur. With this in mind, Jaipur Metro should be developed as a model metro across the country. In this project, expenses and costs should be properly assessed so that, along with the proper utilization of financial resources, better transportation facilities can also be provided to the common people."

Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma urged the swift laying of the foundation stone for Phase 1-D of Jaipur Metro, connecting Mansarovar to the Ajmer Road intersection on the 200-foot bypass, a project included in the 100-day action plan. Additionally, Sharma directed officials to incorporate major crowded areas of the city into the Jaipur Metro's connectivity and to consider future expansion possibilities.

The meeting was attended by Chief Secretary Sudhansh Pant, Additional Chief Secretary (Finance) Akhil Arora, Additional Chief Secretary (Chief Minister) Shikhar Agarwal, Principal Secretary (Chief Minister) Alok Gupta, Principal Secretary (Urban Development) T Ravikant, and senior officials of JMRC.
