Ahilyabai Holkar statue unveiled on JMC-H initiative
1 2 Jaipur: A proposal passed in the board meeting of Jaipur Municipal Corporation-Heritage (JMC-H) on May 26 to install a statue of Devi Ahilyabai Holkar came to fruition Saturday with the grand unveiling of an 8-foot tall statue at the newly developed Ahilyabai Holkar Garden in Haripura. The inauguration was carried out in the presence of Acharya Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das Maharaj from Sant Ravidas Janmasthali, Varanasi, along with Civil Lines MLA Gopal Sharma and JMC-H acting mayor Kusum Yadav. The atmosphere turned emotional as chants of "Ahilyabai Amar Rahein" and "Har Har Mahadev" echoed throughout the park, while devotees eagerly took selfies with the statue. Prior to the unveiling, a vibrant Kalash Yatra was taken out from Rojgareshwar Mahadev Temple, led by hundreds of women and prominent members of various communities, with Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das at the helm. The procession was greeted with floral showers and refreshments along the way. MLA Sharma said, "Residents of Haripura's Durga Vistar and Park View colonies were demanding a park for over 40 years. It is a matter of pride that this long-pending need was fulfilled during the 300th birth anniversary of Ahilyabai Holkar under the double-engine govt of PM Modi and CM Bhajan Lal Sharma." Mayor Yadav highlighted Ahilyabai's legacy of justice and compassion and promised to develop the park into a model cultural space. Mahant Bharat Bhushan Das praised Ahilyabai's temple restorations during the Mughal era. tnn

Plan for eco-friendly smart garage under Smart City initiative unveiled
Jaipur: Under the Smart City 2.0 initiative, JMC-H has announced plans for the Adarsh Garage project in Jaipur. With an allocated budget of Rs 7 crore, the project, still in its design phase, will be constructed on about 1000 sq metres near the Brahmpuri Sewage Treatment Plant and will be retrofitted with eco-friendly technology, featuring EV charging points and rooftop solar panels to optimise energy usage. The structure will comprise a basement for large vehicles, ground level for hoppers and small vehicles, and the first floor will house driver amenities and administrative offices."This could become the country's first smart garage where parking, EV charging, and driver facilities will all be available under one roof. If additional funding is approved, this project could serve as a national model," stated Rajat Vishnoi, chairperson of the JMC-H Public Vehicle further noted that the facility will exclusively accommodate electric vehicles to reduce air pollution during both construction and operational phases. Private companies are being consulted, and building work will commence following final authorisations.
