Open water channel in Udaipur

Udaipur Mayor Govind Singh Tank inspected the recently constructed open water canal and discovered the poor quality construction been done at the site.

He has issued directives to reconstruct the 1150 feet long and 5 feet wide canal from Surajpole to Udiapole with good quality material.

The RCC work of the canal was recently finished and mayor reached the site for inspection. He discovered inappropriate use of cement and concrete mixture which degraded the over-all RCC quality. The contractor had not used a vibrator machine during construction, appropriate cementing was not done between centring material and the iron rods and few other technical discrepancies were discovered.

The total cost of construction for the canal was over 1 crore.

Tank has asked to issue notices to the contractor, XEN, JEN, AEN and also to the Committee Chairman and would take action against the defaulters.

Udaipur City Station will have a 100 KWP Solar Plant

Udaipur Railway Station Solar Plant

In a bid to contribute towards a cleaner and greener environment, Ajmer Railway Division is installing high capacity solar plant at Udaipur City Railway Station. The step would result in substantial savings in Udaipur station’s electricity consumption.

Udaipur Railway Station is all set to install a 100 kWp solar plant which is expected to produce 5 times more electricity than what is being produced right now. Currently, 20 kilowatt-peak (kWp) of electricity is being produced using solar energy.

Besides, the generation of clean solar energy facilitates a reduction in the carbon footprint to the tune of 1,170 tons per annum.

All the power needs of the energy-neutral stations like lighting, fans, pumps, and other electrical appliances are met by the solar energy generated by them, which brings down the net traditional energy consumption at these stations to zero.

Udaipur Station had earlier also installed a solar plant of 100 kilowatt-peak (kWp) capacity. However, due to a violent storm that hit the city last year, the solar panels were destroyed which reduced the capacity for of solar energy being produced to 20 kilowatt-peak (kWp).

With this new solar plant, the Udaipur City Station would be able to meet its energy requirement while saving a good amount of electricity.

Underground Cable Systerm

स्मार्ट सिटी प्रोजेक्ट के तहत शहर में सीवरेज सहित बिजली-पानी की लाइनें अंडरग्राउंड की जा रही है।

साथ ही शहर की ख़राब सड़कों की परेशानी से निपटने का एक्शन प्लान बनाया है जिसके तहत जो सड़क बन जाए, उससे तीन साल तक किसी भी तरह छेड़छाड़ नहीं होगी। इसके लिए सड़काें का ब्यौरा ऑनलाइन किया जाएगा जिसमें निगम के इंजीनियर हिस्ट्री ऑफ राेड्स बनाएंगे। इससे कौनसी सड़क कब बनी, यह जानने में आसानी। यह जानकारी ऑनलाइन रहने से सड़कों का रिपाेर्ट कार्ड बनेगा।

निगम इस तैयारी में है जो सड़क एक बार बन जाये, उससे तीन साल तक किसी भी तरह की छेड़छाड़ न हो।

युआईटी ने भी अपने क्षेत्र की सड़काें की री-कारपेटिंग का काम शुरू किया है। फतहसागर अाेवर फ्लाे प्वाइंट से युआईटी सर्किल तक डामर कर नया कर दिया गया है।

शहर में नई सड़कें बनने के बावजूद कई बार, सरकारी विभाग या निजी टेलीकॉम कंपनियां सड़कें खोदती हैं। पिछले वर्षों में सीवरेज लाइन, स्मार्ट सिटी के कामों, केबल आदि के लिए सड़काें काे खाेदा गया था। इन सडकों को वापस पहले जैसा भी नहीं किया जाता और क्षेत्रवासी धूल-मिट्‌टी से परेशान रहते हैं। इसी को देखते हुए निगम ने तय किया है कि अब जो भी सड़कें बनेंगी, उन्हें तीन साल तक नहीं छेड़ा जाएगा।

हिस्ट्री ऑफ राेड्स के साथ शहर में खराब सड़काें से निजात दिलाने के लिए शहर की प्रमुख सड़काें काे नगर निगम नया करेगा। इन सड़काें की जानकारी जुटाकर सड़कें बनाना शुरू किया जाएगा। शहर के बाहरी हिस्से की हर प्रमुख राेड ठीक करने का प्लान तैयार किया गया है।

सड़काें काे नया जैसा करने के लिए निगम उनकी री-कारपेटिंग करेगा। मुख़्य ट्रंक राेड, क्राॅस राेड या मुख़्य टूरिस्ट राेड पर डामर कर तैयार किया जाएगा। लगभग 50 से 70 किमी क्षेत्र में शहरभर में इनका निर्माण होगा।

मानसून में जो सड़कें पानी भरने से टूटती हैं, उनके डामरीकरण के अलावा तकनीकी काम होंगे। जिन चाैराहाें के आस-पास पानी जमा हाेने से सड़कें टूटती हैं उनके चाराें ओर सीसी सड़क बनाई जाएगी। कुछ चौराहों पर पायलट प्रोजेक्ट सफल हाेने पर सभी चाैराहे शामिल करेंगे।
