He mentioned that the long-awaited dream of bringing water from the Arabian Sea to Udaipur, through the Devass project, is now being realized. 

He added that the Elevated Road is a pressing need for the city, and after years of struggle, this dream is finally becoming a reality. In addition to the elevated road, other important road development projects are also in the pipeline. These projects, along with the Devass project, will serve as the foundation for Udaipur’s future growth and provide a much-needed solution to the city’s traffic challenges.
