Rajasthan Tackles 4,276 Unsafe Structures
15 Dec
Summary
- 4,276 unsafe buildings identified across Rajasthan's urban areas.
- Jodhpur leads with 322 unsafe buildings, Jaipur has 122.
- Heritage buildings face evaluation for preservation or demolition.
Rajasthan's government is addressing a critical public safety issue by identifying 4,276 unsafe buildings across its urban centers. The Urban Development and Housing department confirmed that nearly 200 relatively modern structures without heritage value have already been razed.
The primary concern now is evaluating the historical significance of the remaining unsafe buildings. Notices have been issued to property owners, and a thorough assessment will determine if these structures can be preserved or must be demolished to prevent potential harm.
Jodhpur, Bikaner, and Jaipur are among the cities with the most identified unsafe buildings, with Jaipur's Walled City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, facing heightened concerns. Officials are seeking a balanced approach to safety and heritage preservation.
