Chief Minister Dr. Yadav thanked the people of Ujjain for voluntarily shifting religious places for the widening of KD Marg.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Ujjain is continuously setting new dimensions in terms of development. To fulfill the resolve of Maa Kshipra purification, the Bhoomi pujan of Kanha Close Duct Project was performed in which the direction of the entire Kanha River will be changed through a big size line. Due to this contaminated water from Kanha will not enter the Kshipra. And its water will remain pure.

Additionally, the construction of the Ujjain-Jaora road, estimated at approximately Rs. 5000 crore, is slated to commence soon. Simultaneously, ongoing projects totaling approximately Rs. 6000 crore are underway through the National Highway network. Industrial growth remains a priority in Ujjain, with around one thousand acres of land already allocated for industries in Vikram Udyogpuri Ujjain, alongside a proposal for an additional one thousand acres.
