Ujjain SinghStah 2028: Big development projects announced!
HeadlinesNow reports that despite the Madhya Pradesh government prioritizing the upcoming 2028 Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Ujjain, progress on crucial infrastructure projects is lagging. The Urban Development and Housing Department, designated as the nodal agency, has overseen only one out of seven approved projects so far. This is a matter of concern for Ujjain and the state as a whole. The department's slow pace raises questions about preparations for this massive religious gathering, an event that draws millions of pilgrims to the holy city. While some projects received administrative approvals as early as January 2025, six remain stalled. The approval for crucial projects like road construction and bridge work on the Shipra River, worth 25 crore, is yet to be secured. One of the approved projects, involving sewage construction (Packages 1 and 3) initiated in July 2024, is underway, and shows some positive progress, having completed 8 km of sewage lines and 300 manholes; this project, slated for completion by February 2028, showcases what's possible with focused effort. The delay in other projects is a cause for worry. MP's image and the smooth conduct of the Simhastha Kumbh depend heavily on timely execution of these infrastructure developments. This situation demands immediate attention from the state government. Timely completion of all projects is essential for a successful and safe Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2028. This highlights the need for improved coordination and efficiency in project implementation to avoid last-minute hurdles. The state's reputation is at stake. The timely completion of these projects is not just important for the devotees who will attend but is essential for maintaining Madhya Pradesh's reputation as a well-organized state, capable of hosting large-scale events.Explore more: Bollywood News
