Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on April 8, 2026 visited Guhata village in Indragarh tehsil of Bundi district to inspect the under construction Chambal aqueduct being built under the Ram Jal Setu Link Project, the Rajasthan government's rebranding of the Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Eastern Rajasthan Canal Project (PKC-ERCP). The aqueduct will span the Chambal river between Piplada Samel village in Digod tehsil of Kota district and Guhata village in Bundi district, with a total length of 2,280 metres. It will be supported by 5,060 piles, 77 pile caps and nearly 384 circular piers, and a 7 metre wide road pathway on top will improve local connectivity between Kota and Delhi. The CM described the project as a historic step toward realising the resolve of a developed Rajasthan and asserted that the state government is committed to completing all water related projects in a time bound manner. The revised Parvati-Kalisindh-Chambal Link project was approved by the Union Cabinet in 2024 as a National Project with central funding, expanding the scope of the original ERCP. In its first phase, the project aims to provide drinking water to nearly 3.25 crore people across 17 districts of eastern Rajasthan and annual irrigation benefit of 4.03 lakh hectares in Rajasthan as per the MoA. The districts include Jhalawar, Kota, Baran, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, Dholpur, Bharatpur, Dausa, Jaipur, Ajmer and Tonk among others. The Chambal aqueduct inspection is part of the CM's push to ensure timely delivery before 2028.
