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.
On record
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."
