In a major action under the Smart City Project, the municipal corporation carried out a bulldozer drive near the Mahakal Temple area to facilitate road widening. A total of 12 structures were removed with the consent of property owners, as they were obstructing the proposed 15-meter-wide road. The operation took place near the Smart Parking Road close to Mahakal Temple, where encroachments were cleared using JCB and Poklen machines. Out of 14 identified structures, action was taken against 12.
Road to Improve Traffic and Pilgrim Movement
The road will be developed from Begum Bagh Marg to Bharat Mata Parking, aiming to significantly improve traffic management and ease of movement for devotees visiting the Mahakal Temple area.
Officials stated that this initiative will help streamline congestion and enhance accessibility in one of the city’s busiest धार्मिक zones.
Officials and Security Presence
The demolition drive was carried out in the presence of key officials including Municipal Commissioner Abhilash Mishra, Smart City CEO Sandeep Shiva, Superintending Engineer Santosh Gupta, Tehsildar Shefali Jain, and Additional SP Rahul Deshmukh.
A strong deployment of police personnel and removal teams ensured that the operation was completed smoothly and peacefully.
Step Towards a Modern Ujjain

This move is being seen as an important step toward transforming Ujjain into a smart and modern city, especially in high-footfall religious areas.
