Jaipur Development Body’s Expansion Lacks Benefit for Outskirts

JAIPUR: Approximately three months ago, residents of a substantial residential complex along Ajmer Road encountered a significant issue. Despite the efforts of the residents’ welfare association (RWA) to clean the complex’s sewerage tank, all attempts proved ineffective. As the complex fell outside the jurisdiction of the Jaipur Municipal Corporation, RWA members were unable to persuade the civic body to address the cleaning. Both the local panchayat and Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) informed them that they do not extend services to individual households. In Jaipur’s suburban colonies and residential projects, residents persistently grapple with a lack of essential civic amenities. Urban…

Alarmingly, the projected population density in the JDA’s proposed area is only 23 persons per hectare, well below the URDPFI guideline of 175 persons per hectare for cities…

Critics: New Land Registry Rule Favors Big Builders in Rajasthan

Representative AI image JAIPUR: A new land registry rule introduced on Thursday by the urban development and housing (UDH) department has sparked significant backlash. Critics, including UDH officials and lawyers, claim that the regulation primarily favors large builders at the expense of smaller stakeholders and individual landowners.

According to critics, for many small landowners—especially farmers—gaining these certificates from the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) or other government agencies is nearly impossible. A senior UDH official remarked, “This…
