Ujjain, November 14 — Ahead of Simhastha 2028, the Ujjain district administration has intensified its city-wide preparations. Collector Raushan Kumar Singh is personally inspecting ongoing infrastructure projects and issuing strict directions to ensure quality and timely completion.
On Friday morning, the Collector walked through several construction zones, reviewing road and bridge works in detail. He instructed officials to maintain high standards and warned that any negligence would lead to disciplinary action.
Focus on Major Roads and Bridges
The Collector visited the under-construction four-lane road stretching from Harifatak Bridge to Lalpul, extending further towards Murlipura Road and Chintaman Jawasia Square. He examined the CC road quality and asked departments to complete work within the stipulated timeline.
At Lalpul, he inspected the parallel bridge being built next to the existing structure. Construction agency officials briefed him about obstacles related to the railway portion of the bridge. Acting immediately, the Collector contacted the Ratlam Railway Division and directed PWD Executive Engineer Mr Ahirwar to coordinate closely with railway officials to resolve issues.
