Jhotwara Road, Jaipur

The Jaipur Development Authority's (JDA) plan to redevelop stretches of the Dravyavati River, inspired by Mumbai's Chowpatty, is facing a significant challenge due to toxic foam and untreated sewage polluting parts of the river. This pollution is hindering the redevelopment efforts, which aimed to create recreational spaces and improve the riverfront.

JDA has approved ₹665 crore for six infrastructure projects, including the construction of a four-lane elevated road from Aranya Bhavan Chowraha to Jagatpura ROB, aimed at alleviating traffic congestion. Other projects include sewer line & road laying in Prithviraj Nagar.Construction of 55 new roads worth ₹113 crore is underway in the Jhotwara. Northern Ring Road project, with an investment of ₹6,500 crore, too is progressing fast.

The state government has stopped the registration of properties based on informal housing society 'pattas' to curb unregulated real estate activities and protect buyers from fraudulent sales. All such land will now require a 90-A conversion, involving certification of land-use, layout, and road width norms by revenue, town planning, and JDA departments before registration. This is expected to bring greater transparency and legality to property transactions.
