STATE Public Works Department Minister Rakesh Singh on Tuesday inspected condition of all important squares of the city. Speaking on the occasion, he said Jabalpur has entered a new phase of steady development under the leadership of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. The city once known for complaints of neglect is now experiencing continuous progress.

 

Singh inspected Andhamukh Bypass Chowk, Adi Shankaracharya Chowk, Rani Avanti Bai Chowk (Dhanvantari Nagar), Medical Chowk (Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose), Tripuri Chowk and Rampur Chowk. He examined traffic flow, present safety conditions and local requirements. Officials from the PWD and Jabalpur Municipal Corporation were also present on the occasion. Singh said the city’s main entry points and major squares will be redesigned to reflect the identity and heritage of Sanskardhani.

 

Andhamukh Bypass Chowk will be developed as an attractive landmark with a replica of Bhedaghat, flowing water features, greenery and improved lighting. The State Minister said the aim is to create a welcoming view for anyone entering Jabalpur. Singh added that Rani Avanti Bai Chowk, Medical Chowk, Rampur Chowk and Tripuri Chowk will be upgraded with similar planning. Adi Shankaracharya Chowk will be redesigned with well planned landscaping, fountains and lighting.

 

While the installation of a statue is not possible due to regulatory limitations, symbolic elements representing Adi Shankaracharya will be incorporated. He also said that the development of other main routes, including Shastri Bridge Chowk and Kachhpura Bridge will be carried out to ensure a pleasant experience for commuters from the moment they enter the city. He said the main objective behind such exercise is to create roadways and junctions that are not only functional but visually associated with the city’s cultural character.
