City Representative Offers Suggestions for New Hill Policy to UDA Officials
Udaipur - In preparation for the new hill policy aimed at conserving the Aravalli hills, the Udaipur Development Authority (UDA) is seeking suggestions from city representatives. City legislator Tarachand Jain, along with UDA officials, conducted an inspection of the Ramgiri hills in Badgaon on Monday. Subsequently, in a meeting with UDA officials at the Udaipur Sabha Ghar, Jain presented his recommendations. UDA Regional Commissioner Rajendra Bhatt directed relevant officials to incorporate the suggestions into the draft of the new policy.
During the visit, Jain was briefed by Bhatt about the ongoing development work, spanning the past few years, involving planting nearly 8 to 9 thousand trees on 25 hectares of land by the Urban Improvement Trust (UIT). Bhatt informed Jain that the Ramgiri hills are being developed as an oxygen park for the city, aligning with the plan to create oxygen parks on hills in all four corners of the city. This initiative is part of the larger goal to develop such parks in an effort to save the hills from encroachment and other activities.
Jain commended this initiative, stating that the conservation of hills is essential for safeguarding the catchment areas of lakes, which are considered the lifeline of the city. He emphasized the need to incorporate these facts into the new hill policy. Following this, Jain suggested preparing a detailed project report for the new oxygen park. Additionally, he expressed the importance of protecting the hills to ensure the continued flow of water into the lakes, preventing adverse effects on the catchment areas.
UDA Chairman Bhatt mentioned that a specialized committee, comprising experts from UDA, urban planning, revenue, forest, irrigation departments, along with GIS experts and architects, will be formed soon to draft the new hill policy. The survey of the hills within a 20-kilometer aerial radius of Sajjangarh will be conducted, and based on the findings, a classification of the hills will be made. The committee will then prepare a report, which will be sent to the state government for the formulation of new rules in line with the directives of the High Court.
