On record
An elevated road planned along JLN Marg, already included in the state budget, was shelved after Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma raised aesthetic concerns about the corridor's appearance during a review meeting. The JDA has since pivoted to planning an alternative elevated road along Tonk Road instead, which would require removing the existing older flyovers at Gopalpura and Durgapura crossings.
The official record states: "A JDA official said "given the Chief Minister's concerns about the proposed elevated road...it seems the project has no future," citing aesthetic objections to the JLN Marg alignment."
“Budgeted, then scrapped because the Chief Minister did not like the look of it. A rare aesthetic veto, if a late one.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Budgeted, designed and then dropped because the Chief Minister did not care for how it would look.”
“The replacement plan is an elevated road on Tonk Road that requires demolishing two existing flyovers first.”
“A JDA official says the project seems to have no future, which is the most decisive thing said about it.”
