India News | BJP MP Seeks Action Plan to Protect World Heritage Tag of Jaipur

Jaipur, Jan 7 (PTI) BJP MP Diya Kumari wrote to Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Thursday, urging him to formulate an effective action plan to maintain the World Heritage status of Jaipur.

She said if the city loses its form and character due to administrative negligence, it is Gehlot's responsibility as the head of the state to take action.

The Rajsamand MP in a statement said it is the government's responsibility to protect the walled city but it seems to have completely failed in fulfilling its duty.

Stray animals on streets are inviting accidents; the city does not have proper parking facilities for tourists; there is no control over illegal parking in the markets and the World Heritage status of Jaipur is in danger due to a flood of illegal constructions, she said.

To maintain and preserve the world heritage status of Jaipur, the chief minister should constitute a committee of enlightened citizens under his chairmanship and make a definite action plan and get it implemented in a time-bound manner, she said.
