MP CM Mohan Yadav Begins Partial Demolition of Ancestral Home for Ujjain Road Widening
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav initiated the partial demolition of his ancestral home in Ujjain to facilitate a Rs 9.8 crore road-widening project ahead of Simhastha Mahaparv 2028. The 730-metre stretch between Khajurwali Masjid and Ganesh Chowk will be expanded to 15 metres, affecting 272 buildings, including religious sites and residences like that of Yadav's sister. The project aims to improve traffic flow during the anticipated influx of devotees. Residents have largely cooperated, with some voluntarily removing affected portions of their properties.
