Which Simhastha 2028 works did the joint inspection in Ujjain cover?
The inspection covered five works: Gita Bhawan, the Shanti Palace bypass flyover, the widening of Nanakheda Marg from Shanti Palace, construction of a ghat near D-Mart, and the Sevarkheri-Silarkheri project.
Who took part in the inspection?
MP Anil Firojiya and MLA Anil Jain Kaluheda were joined by Nagar Nigam chairperson Kalawati Yadav, Ujjain Development Authority chairman Ravi Solanki and Simhastha Mela Authority chairman Jagdish Agrawal.
Divisional Commissioner Ashish Singh, Collector Roushan Kumar Singh, Nagar Nigam Commissioner Abhilash Mishra, Additional Mela Officer Omprakash Sanodiya and officers of several departments were present.
What is the Sevarkheri-Silarkheri project, and how much is done?
The project is 86% complete, and the public representatives expressed satisfaction with that progress. Roughly one-seventh of the work is left, and the post gives no date for it.
The project costs about Rs 614 crore, and its bhoomi pujan was held on Jan 13, 2025. It is meant to keep the Kshipra (Shipra) flowing through the year. That would give pilgrims bathing water ahead of Simhastha and supply drinking water to Ujjain.
What is the status of the Indore-Ujjain alternative four-lane green field road?
Divisional Commissioner Ashish Singh, Collector Roushan Kumar Singh and Additional Mela Officer Omprakash Sanodiya inspected the road. The post gives no details of progress or orders.
The road costs about Rs 2,935 crore. Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav and Union Minister Manohar Lal performed its bhoomi pujan at Chandrawatiganj on June 20, 2026. Reports say it will cut the Indore-Ujjain trip to about 30 minutes.
Where is Gita Bhawan being built?
Gita Bhawan is planned at the Triveni Vihar scheme site, opposite the Shipra Vihar Commercial Complex. It is to cost about Rs 77 crore on 100,000 square feet, and its bhoomi pujan was held on March 17, 2026.
Why this matters to pilgrims right now
Bathing depends on a steady flow in the Shipra, so the 86% figure is the one pilgrims should watch. The Shanti Palace flyover and the Nanakheda Marg widening are works that affect movement inside Ujjain.
If you plan to visit Ujjain in 2028, these works are under the joint watch of elected representatives and officials. The government has set Diwali 2027 as the target for finishing Simhastha works, and the new order again stresses deadlines and quality.
