JAIPUR: Ambiguity looms large over the ring road project in the city. Even a month after the official date of commencement, people's dream for better connectivity still remains on paper. JDA officials claim that half of the problem was already solved after the empowered committee accepted the farmers' demand and said the project will start soon. However, no actual date to start the project has been announced by the authorities.

JAIPUR: The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has accepted the demands of farmers during an empowered committee meeting on Tuesday. Farmers supporting the proposed ring road project are happy as their demands were pending with the state cabinet for a long time.

JAIPUR: Dissatisfied with the government proposal on the Ring Road project, the Ring Road Sangarsh Samiti put forth its alternate demand on Sunday, which could make it difficult for state government to start the project. The farmers have demanded a government job for one family member of the farmers whose lands have been acquired, along with profit-sharing from the planned corridor development.

The Jaipur Development Commissioner (JDC) Kuldeep Ranka, said, "Negotiations between the Sangrash Smaiti and the departments are on. At our previous meeting we discussed a few points, we hope to resolve the matter amicably and start the project soon."

A unique “water audit” exercise in Jaipur, Ajmer, Pali and Bhilwara towns of Rajasthan for efficient management of drinking water is likely to be completed by October 2. The audit is set to evolve the much-needed balance between demand and supply and improve the delivery of water to consumers.

Sources in the urban development department, however , said the deadlock between the Samiti farmers and the government in connection with their demand for compensation of 90 metre land continued.

Consider this: It took the mayor 455 days to examine a file for constructing public toilets for women in the main markets of the city. The file notings today reads, "please reexamine," put by the mayor. Sources said there isn't a single public toilet on the prominent JLN Marg right up to Jawahar Circle or for that matter near the Birla Mandir, frequented by many.
