City to get 4 bridges with escalators

JAIPUR: In an ambitious move, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has drawn plans for constructing four footover bridges along the Tonk Road that will be fitted with escalators. According to JDA, this is the first of its kind bridges in the city.

The first foot over bridge will be built near the existing overbridge on the Tonk Road close to the Central Academy at Ambedkar Nagar. The second one will come up at the Narayan Singh Circle, the third would be an extension of the second beginning perpendicularly from it and crossing the Govind Marg in an L-shape. The fourth will be near the Sawai Man Singh (SMS) hospital.

According to officials of JDA, the footover bridges will be built on a BoT basis and work that has begun at the Narayan Singh circle is being done by M/s NS Publicity Agency.

Such foot overbridges which have escalators, instead of the ordinary stairs, are very rare in the country, they added.

"The agency building the footover bridges will be responsible for running them free of cost. They will transfer the overbridges to the government after 15 years," the source added.

Jaipur to get two export exhibition centres soon

Jaipur: In a bid to boost exports in the garments and jewellery sector, the government has decided to build two export promotion centres along the lines of the India Expo Centre at Greater Noida.
The centres, that are being termed export exhibition centres, will be situated at Vatika near Jagatpura and at Chaksu on the Ajmer road about 20 kms from here. The Vatika centre is being build on a 25-acre plot of land by the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) while the one at Chaksu will be developed by Rajasthan State Industrial Development and Investment Corporation Limited (RIICO) on a 100-acre plot.
According to sources in the state urban development department, the expression of interest (EoI) have been called for after which the technical and financial tenders will be done.
“The garments and the jewellery industry here are famous across the world. There is a lot of demand for these products. However, both the sectors have failed to get its due share as exporters so long did not have a proper place to exhibit their products,’’ said sources at the state urban development department.
“Most exporters in these two sectors had to depend on exhibition held at Delhi and other places to showcase their product. And it is not always practically prossible for one to pack all his products and keep doing the rounds of various states hunting for exhibitions that would help get a suitable market abroad. It is to fulfill this lacunae that the centres are being built,” he added.
The source said that these centres will have showrooms where dealers of jewellery and the garment sector can set up a permanent shop. Besides, there would also be a large open space at the centre where export exhibitions may be hosted.
“Any buyer, bulk or otherwise, will now have a permanent address at Jaipur to drive down to if he is looking to buy such wares. The centre will not only offer him a wide vaiety to choose from but would also help him compare prices under one roof,” the source said.

Sports city complex to be inaugurated in August

JAIPUR: The Pink City is slowly, but surely, getting into international sports map. Sports city complex, a JDA venture, scheduled to be inaugurated in August this year, is all set to catapult the city to an international centre for events like archery, shooting and equestrian sports.

In fact, the shooting range of the complex has already hosted a 13-nation Asian clay shooting championship in February this year. The shooting range can boast of four trap and skeet ranges of international standard, which are, at present, available only in Dubai. The range is equipped with electronic score boards, a grand stand for audiences and participants along with an air conditioned sitting lounge.

“We have also provided a 50 metre-range for rifle shooting with 32 points, which means that 32 shooters can practice simultaneously. Besides, we have a 25 metre-range with 24 points and 10 metre-range (pistol) with 80 points,” said C K Bafna, project incharge of the sports city complex.

The range will have a separate hostel for younger aspirants.

Moreover, the complex has already made headlines for its Arena polo (equestrian) facilities which is under construction, and deemed to be third of its kind in the world after similar ones in the United States and Singapore. A six-nation Commonwealth indoor polo event is scheduled to be organized in October. This rugby ball shaped indoor polo stadium will be the largest one with cent per cent air conditioning and more than 1,500 seating capacity.

The equestrian facilities have 3 stable blocks each having a capacity to keep 18 horses. “To encourage sports, we are also coming up with an open riding school and also a veterinary hospital and a pool for horses. A dressage arena is also attached to the sport complex, which is a levelled ground for the polo event,” said an engineer.

The third component of the international sports city complex is an archery facility measuring 110 x 140 metre as per international norms. This is also adorned by an overhead stadium, a gymnasium and a conference hall.

Sports city complex, which will be called Organized Archery, Shooting and Equestrian Sports (OASES) complex, will have more reasons to take pride in. The JDA plans to start a starred club to attract more and more foot falls in addition to world class facilities.

For this ultra modern club, more than 22,000 square metre of land will be made available. The club will have state-of-the-art facilities like swimming pool, lawn tennis court, gymnasium and a restaurant.

“The club will also house a party lawn, a coffee shop, a conference hall as well as a well-furnished guest house. The club house will be fully air-conditioned and efforts are being made to connect it with assured and uninterrupted power supply,” said D B Gupta, commissioner, JDA.

JAIPUR: The first BRTS corridor in the city will be completed in October and buses are expected to start plying from early next year. However, du
e to the challenges faced by similar projects in Delhi and other cities, there are fears about the success of the project. Notwithstanding, a committee has been formed on Monday to identify parking locations and workshops for the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS).

In Jaipur, the usual distance travelled by a daily commuter is less compared to other big cities. Hence the question remains whether a citizen, who has to travel just five to 10 kilometres, will abandon his private vehicle in favour of the public transport.

“In all major cities of the world, a majority of people use public transport. Jaipur might be small today, but in the coming days, with the expanding city limits, increasing population and rising fuel prices, its residents will be compelled to use the public transport. BRTS is a step taken in advance to meet the future needs,” said a JDA official. “It is a project ahead of its time and we are also open to bearing the revenue losses in its initial years,” he added.

This rapidly expanding city is definitely in dire need of a strong public transport system. Primarily dependent on minibuses, auto rickshaws and cycle rickshaws, many residents feel that the BRTS would make a difference.

However, there are may who oppose the project. “As we can see, even when the construction work is being carried out, the normal traffic is pushed to narrow lanes. There will be less medians (entry points) and those commuting on private vehicles would have to travel longer distances to make turns,” says Dr V S Bhatnagar, a resident of Panipech. The ongoing BRTS work has already restricted access to his apartment.

Once all the three phases are completed, the BRTS will have a total length of 138 kilometres, out of which 75 percent will be dedicated lanes including three elevated roads. In fact, this exclusiveness worries the citizens. A similar situation in Delhi had resulted in protests where commuters alleged that they had to face traffic jams while BRTS lanes remain empty most of the time. The authorities in Jaipur are, however, counting on the superiority of road networks. Since Jaipur is a planned city, it has parallel roads and right angel connections which come to the rescue of citizens during traffic congestion, say officials. For example, in case of a traffic jam on Tonk Road, the commuters can easily shift to JLN Marg and other routes without much difficulty.

At congested places like government hostel, collectorate circle and near elevated roads, the BRTS will travel on normal lane. The JDA is also confident that introduction of BRTS will motivate more people to switch to public transport.

After rectifying the bottlenecks, the BRTS project will also have to ensure a better intermediate transport system. “The BRTS will touch only major roads and those intending to reach interior localities will have to take other means to reach BRTS stand,” said Mukesh Meena, a Rajasthan University student.

“We are designing a strong feeder transport system by redirecting the routes of minibuses to connect to local bus stops and BRTS routes,” said a senior official at Jaipur Development Authority. “Every new system is viewed with suspicion but its benefits will be obvious once the project goes fully operational. Meanwhile, lessons learnt from Delhi have been used to improve the services in Jaipur,” he added.
