Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Tuesday received information about the second phase of Shri Mahakal Maharaj Mandir Complex Expansion Scheme at the auditorium of Triveni Museum in Ujjain.
Collector Ashish Singh through a power point presentation informed that the Maharajwada complex would be developed as a heritage dharamshala. The area between Maharajwada and the temple will also be included in the temple complex. Earlier the school operated here has been shifted elsewhere.
In the Rudra Sagar renovation, such nullahs, from where the sewer line water was getting into Sagar, are being diverted to another place. 90 percent of the work has been completed in this.
