The historic Mahakal Marg in Ujjain has been resurfaced and upgraded after four and a half decades, prompting locals to applaud Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav’s initiative.
Ujjain’s Mahakal Marg, a road that has long been a symbol of the city’s cultural heritage, has undergone a major facelift after 45 years of neglect. The renovation was completed just before a royal procession that highlighted the newly laid surface, drawing crowds of onlookers.
The upgrade involved resurfacing the entire stretch, installing fresh street lighting, and improving drainage to address long‑standing water‑logging issues. Officials say the work was part of a broader effort to modernise key urban arteries in Madhya Pradesh.
Residents and shopkeepers along the corridor gathered to express gratitude, chanting “Thank you, CM” as the procession passed. Many described the transformation as a “new dawn” for local commerce and daily commuting.
City officials noted that the project sets a precedent for similar upgrades in other historic zones, aiming to boost tourism and improve safety for pedestrians and motorists alike.
