On record
A flagship ₹1,676-crore project to rejuvenate Jaipur's Dravyavati river (formerly the sewage-choked Amanishah Nallah) missed its October 2018 completion deadline, left tributaries like Kartarpura Nulla untouched (causing dangerous sinkholes during rain, now under High Court litigation), and continues receiving untreated sewage from the Walled City, Sanganer and Pratap Nagar. In 2026 the Rajasthan High Court found the JDA had ignored a NEERI report's recommendations for constructing cement concrete drain channels along the river and demanded an explanation for the continued delay.
The official record states: "Not specified by JDA in available reporting on the 2026 court order; opposition leader Vasundhara Raje separately accused the succeeding state government of "mismanagement" in the project."

Visitor reviews Satire
“Sixteen hundred and seventy-six crore to revive a river that is still receiving untreated sewage from three parts of the city.”
“Walked the Ambawadi stretch. Landscaped channel, manicured banks, and the smell of the old Amanishah Nallah underneath.”
“The High Court has asked the JDA to explain why it ignored the NEERI recommendations, eight years after the deadline passed.”
