The amount of 1470 crore Rupees to be procured in 3 years. 
Dravyawati River – Environmental permissions, agreement and loan discussions. 

After the tender of work regarding Dravyawati River has been handed over to Tata, discussions are happening as to how it would be commenced. The biggest challenge is to get the work completed in 3 years along with permissions and budget. It is a big question to decide about the funder of 1470 crore rupees Mega Project. The government has put this responsibility on JDA’s shoulders. At present, the financial condition of JDA is also not sound. JDA is itself disqualifying previous financial and government work order permissions. Loan application proposal would be sent to National Capital Region Development Board. According to JDC Shikhar Agarwal, “The proposal would be sent this month, for which government has agreed.” A meeting would be held on environment clearance issues and agreement on the Dravyawati River work order. 

50 crores would be spent each month to clean the Dravyawati River.STP would be placed to clean the dirty water. According to JDC Shikhar Agarwal, “There would be rapid development in the work on Dravyawati River. Tata would work in an amount of 50 crores each month. Many teams will work simultaneously.These points would be mentioned in the agreement also so the work can be completed on time. Machinery would be set up to take out waste materials from the River. Also, STP plants would be set up in a place where garbage stops and stagnates. Detail designs of some structures would be presented before the work commences. Many big concrete plants would be set up.

After getting an approval from the government, JDA will start the work in progress as soon as possible. The chief minister Smt. Vasundhara Raj could inaugurate the project this month. It is an interesting fact that when this project was put forward by JDA, Tata was the only company that was willing to take it up and submitted tenders.

Encroachment in Jaipur Colonies JDA

40 feet encroachment on 60 feet wide road Jaipur Colonies - JDA is building a footpath on Vishisht Marg in Nemi Sagar at Vaishali Nagar.

JDA is building 5 feet wide footpaths on both sides of the road in Nemi Sagar colony in Vaishali Nagar without removing encroachment. The residents of this colony have created 15 feet ramps outside their houses and developed encroached gardens. After the development of the footpath, the 60 ft wide Vishisht marg would remain only 20 feet in width. 

R S Choudhary, a resident of Nemi Sagar colony adds, “The Vishist marg stretches from Maharaja Hotel from Khatipura road to the Gurudwara at Vaishali road. The local people would park their cars in front of the footpath and this will create problems in commuting in Vishist mark. The residents have registered their complaints under the XEN of JDA zone 7 but no solution has been provided.
