A revised proposal for the Ujjain-Indore Metropolitan Area has drawn sharp criticism from experts and residents regarding its expanded scope and prioritization.
Concerns have been raised regarding the latest proposal for the Ujjain-Indore Metropolitan Area. The plan, which seeks to incorporate six districts and significantly expand the area to 16,000 square kilometers, has faced objections.
Experts and local residents have voiced their disapproval, particularly questioning the decision to prioritize Ujjain over Indore within the metropolitan framework. The extensive geographical reach, including cities situated up to 140 kilometers away, has also become a point of contention.
This marks the fifth iteration of the Indore Metropolitan City proposal, with each revision reportedly altering the scope and composition of the designated area.
