Survey of Singroli-Ghorawal in Baghelkhand region and Ujjain-Jhalawaad, Agra-Susner-Soytha in Malwa region has been approved in the new surveys which would be conducted soon. These surveys are aimed to provide development and growth in these areas which are still thriving for growth and development due to lack of basic facilities. With the completion of Itarsi –Bhusawal third railway track the traffic at this route will be decongested. Much needed extensions were also been approved and have been implemented in the budget.
