शहर की सड़कों को चौड़ा करने के लिए शुरू किया गया नगर निगम का ‘अतिक्रमण हटाओ’ अभियान 27 दिन बंद रहने के बाद बुधवार से फिर शुरू किया गया जो मार्च 5 तक चलेगा।
निगम की कार्यवाही के बाद, शहर की सड़कें खुली-खुली नज़र आ रही हैं।
अब तक कीमतराम पेसमूल तिराहे से मार्शल चाैराहे से धानमंडी से मुख्य मार्ग से हाेते हुए देहली गेट तक कार्रवाई हो चुकी है। निगम ने व्यापारियाें काे पाबंद करते हुए दुकानाें के बाहर सड़क के किनारे रखा सामान हटवाया गया। कई जगह अवैध रूप से पड़े 8 ठेले, 25 कैरेट, लाेहे की बेंच, काउंटर जब्त किये।
हालाँकि, धानमंडी क्षेत्र में व्यापारियाें के विराेध का सामना करना पड़ा।
गैरतलब है की निगम ने जब अभियान शुरू किया था तब बिना किसी सुचना के कार्यवाही करने का तय किया गया था। मगर वार्ड पार्षदों के विरोध के चलते निगम ने कार्रवाई राेक दी थी।
अब निगम राेड मैप तैयार कर कार्रवाई कर रहा है। यह रहेगा निगम का अतिक्रमण हटाने का प्लान:
18 फरवरी : शास्त्री सर्किल चौराहे से अशाेक नगर हाेते हुए दुर्गानर्सरी तक
20 फरवरी : सूरजपाेल चाैराहे से सेवाश्रम चाैराहे तक
24 फरवरी : सेवाश्रम चाैराहे से प्रतापनगर चाैराहे तक
25 फरवरी : सेवाश्रम चाैराहे से बीएसएनएल हाेते हुए सेक्टर 6 तक
26 फरवरी : देहलीगेट चाैराहे से काेर्ट चाैराहा हाेते हुए चेतक चाैराहे तक
28 फरवरी : चेतक चाैराहे से आयुर्वेद चाैराहे तक

5 मार्च : दुर्गा नर्सरी राेड से आयड़ राेड़ हाेते हुए बाेहरा गणेश मंदिर तक
नगर निगम की बुधवार को हुई बैठक में शहर को साफ़-सुथरा बनाने के लिए कई मुद्दों पर चर्चा हुई और सुझाव भी रखे गए। उप-महापौर एवं स्वास्थ समिति अध्यक्ष पारस सिंघवी की अध्यक्षता में हुई इस बैठें में सभी समिति अध्यक्षों ने अपने-अपने विचार प्रस्तुत किये।
स्वच्छ उदयपुर के लिए निम्न प्रस्तावों को लिया गया:
शहर के छोटी व तंग गलियों और ऊँची घाटियों वाले इलाक़ों से में कचरा संग्रन के लिए 500 हाथ-गाड़िया लगाई जायेगी।
नगर निगम की सीमा के बाहर कोई भी सफाईकर्मी अपनी सेवाएं नहीं देगा।
वार्ड पार्षद और जमादार मिल कर तय करेंगें की वार्ड में कितने सफाईकर्मियों की ज़रूरत है।
शहर के होटलों और रेस्टोरेंट्स की नयी सूची बनाई जाएगी और लाइसेंस की जांच की जाएगी।
जो ज़मीनें अभी खली पड़ी हैं उसकी सफाई निगम करवाएगा और नियमन के बाद भूखंडधारी से पैसे लिए जायेंगे।
जो कर्मचारी लगन और ईमानदारी से काम कर सम्बंधित इलाक़े की सफ़ाई की सुचारु व्यवस्था रखेगा, उसे एक लाख रुपए से पुरस्कृत किया जाएगा।
कचरा संग्रहण के वहां चालक वर्दी में कचरा संग्रहण के लिए जायेंगे।
सार्वजनिक शौचालयों की सफाई पर नियमित कार्य किया जायेगा।
उदयपुर को स्वच्छ बनाने के लिए नगर निगम के इन प्रयासों में हम भी अपना योगदान दे सकतें हैं।
अपने इलाक़े में काम करने वाले सफ़ाईकर्मी को प्रोत्साहित करें ताकी वो अपना काम मेहनत और लगन से करे और इनाम का हक़दार बने साथ ही हमारा शहर भी साफ़ बने।
Udaipur being the most preferred tourist destination particularly in the monsoon season is attracting large number of people all around the world. Not only the tourists but locals also frequently visit lakes and other beautiful spots in large numbers during monsoons. However, the biggest issue is that, there are no restrictions on taking pictures and selfies on these sites, which sometimes becomes a reason of unwanted accidents.
Observing the picturesque beauty of lakes, valleys and other such picnic spots, people generally forget to notice danger zones and blind spots which has ended lives of many people in the past. Also, the increasing craze of photography and selfies is the major reason behind such unacceptable accidents.
In a meeting held in the month of March, between Tourism Development board and UIT & Nagar Nigam, it was decided to place warning boards near lakes, hilly regions and tourist places. However, till date no action has been taken in this regard. Observing the increasing number of selfie-deaths, a meeting by tourism department will be held on Thursday at 4:30 p.m. to take more stringent actions.
Administration and people must take collective action to prevent such mishaps in future. Authorities must appoint guards at highly risky areas, together with placing warning signs . Moreover, people must show responsive attitude while visiting such places.
Udaipur,Even no heavy rainfall or strong wind flow has been observed during the past two weeks, still there are increasing cases of falling of power poles in Udaipur. Recently the falling of a power pole in Badgaon Panchayat, took a toll on lives of two innocent kids. Even after the mishap, local authorities and Nagar Nigam are taking no serious actions to avoid further damages.
A second similar case has been observed on Saturday morning when an electric pole fell on the ground in Dhar Panchayat region. The pole also had a small transformer affixed on it and luckily there were no vehicles or individuals standing near it, otherwise it could have done enormous damage to life and property. As per one of the witnesses “the pole suddenly started shuddering, observing which the people nearby distanced themselves from the pole and in a few seconds the pole flattened down on the road. After, observing the increasing number of such incidences a major question has been raised upon the work of Nagar Nigam. In such case people should remain alert and should not stand near any kind of poles, as even there are chances of getting electrocuting.
Techno India NJR Students have been actively participating in various social activities for welfare and awareness among the community. This time, the students of Techno NJR performed a Flash Mob at Fateh Sagar Paal and Celebration Mall on the evening of 7th April 2019 to make public aware about General Election 2019 which will be held in Rajasthan on 28th April. The event was presented by the Techno NJR students in collaboration with Election Commission of India, Udaipur along with Nagar Nigam Udaipur, for making people aware about the elections and to encourage them to cast their vote which is their constitutional right. The large crowd which gathered at both the places also took the oath to vote and promote voting. A team of 31 Techno NJR Students from a first and second year performed the Flash Mob:
The Flash Mob was choreographed Jitendra Verma and managed by Gaurav Kumawat. Overall Coordination of the event was done by Shri Puneet Sharma on behalf of Election Commission.
Recently many transfers took place in the State which has given new authorities to the Udaipur city including the new and first women collector of Udaipur– Ms. Anandhi along with the new Nagar Nigam commissioner– Anjali Rajoria. Due to the same reasons, existing projects, as well as new projects, are kick-started in the city. Let us look through the recent two projects which are going to be undertaken in the city.
Public Cycle Sharing System in Udaipur
A meeting was held on Tuesday by Udaipur Smart City Ltd. where the officers of smart city project gave information about the cycle sharing system to Udaipur’s new Collector Anandhi.

Under the public sharing system, cycle sharing will be provided at public places and for the same, cycle stands will be constructed. From these cycle stands, any person can pick cycles and leave them at the nearest cycle stand once they are done with their work.
Foot Over Bridge at Hospital Road
On the other hand, Udaipur Municipal Corporation (UMC) will begin the construction of Foot Over Bridge at the MB Hospital Road. This bridge will connect the entrance of the hospital to the medical shops at the other end which will make it very convenient for the patients and their relatives to move to the other side during heavy traffic on the road.

Along with that, 18 more Foot Over Bridge will be constructed in the city which will cost Rs. 75 Lakh Rupees. These FOBs will be constructed of the Iron-steel material on a single pillar which will be placed on a divider. The work for the same would probably begin by 10th January 2019.
