The Ujjain administration demolished 10 structures in Begumbagh to clear the path for the Mahakal Temple corridor, with the local Muslim community voluntarily vacating the premises.
Significant progress has been made in Ujjain towards the preparations for the upcoming Singhastha-2028. The city administration has demolished ten buildings in the Begumbagh area to facilitate the widening of the access road leading to the Mahakal Temple.
Notably, the local Muslim community voluntarily vacated their properties in this zone, clearing the way for the civic authorities to remove the structures. The administration stated that these demolitions were necessary to eliminate unauthorized commercial constructions that were obstructing the planned infrastructure development.
The cleared area is now designated for critical infrastructure projects, including the widening of the main approach road and the construction of a new bridge. These measures aim to manage the expected surge in pilgrim traffic and ensure smoother connectivity to the sacred site.
This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the infrastructure around the Mahakal Temple ahead of the major religious festival in 2028, ensuring a safer and more organized environment for devotees.
