The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) launched a major urban infrastructure drive under 'Operation 80 Feet', which entered its demarcation phase on June 9, 2026. The operation aims to widen Krishna Marg to 80 feet, enabling direct road connectivity to 50 colonies across Jaipur.\n\nAs part of the drive, 134 encroachments were removed, including religious structures such as a mosque, two temples, a satsang bhawan, and a mazar. The operation was carried out with significant administrative and security support, with 3,000 police personnel deployed to maintain law and order during the drive. Internet services were also suspended in parts of Jaipur as a precautionary measure.\n\nThe groundwork for June 9's demarcation phase was laid in May 2026, when 122 houses and encroachments had already been cleared from the road boundary, establishing the corridor for the planned widening.\n\nThe widening of Krishna Marg to 80 feet is a key urban connectivity project under JDA's mandate to improve road infrastructure in Jaipur. Once completed, the road will provide direct access to 50 colonies that currently lack adequate connectivity, improving mobility for thousands of residents.\n\nThe operation reflects JDA's broader urban governance agenda of reclaiming road right-of-way, removing unauthorized encroachments, and creating planned road corridors to support Jaipur's growing urban population. The demarcation phase marks a critical step toward the actual road-widening work.
