Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav painted a vibrant picture of Ujjain’s future during a Friday address, positioning the ancient city as a triune hub of faith, heritage, and commerce in preparation for the 2028 Simhastha Kumbh.
Key infrastructure upgrades include converting approach roads into wide four- and six-lane expressways, ensuring seamless access for devotees. Preparations for the mega event are in full swing, with the government aiming for an event of unparalleled scale.
The Shipra Riverfront is getting a stunning upgrade with 30 km of fresh ghats, enhancing the spiritual ambiance and visitor experience.
Yadav spotlighted industrial strides, noting the completion of a 12,500-acre zone and the launch of a 5,000-acre expansion. Projects like Vikram Udyogpuri and the Medical Device Park are accelerating, drawing investments and jobs.
Religious tourism gets a boost too, with a new airport and heli-services on the anvil. ‘In the coming years, Ujjain will shine as a global center for religion, culture, and industry,’ Yadav envisioned.
The 2028 Simhastha will showcase Sanatan Dharma’s magnificence to the world, he promised.
Under UDA’s urban renewal drive, Rs 662.46 crore projects encompass a modern township and robust water-sewer systems. Recent groundbreaking ceremonies by the CM for similar ventures reinforce Ujjain’s ascent as a development model.
