Roads should be constructed in such a way that apart from Mahakal Lok, transportation to other pilgrim places of Ujjain should become easier. To provide lodging facilities to pilgrims arriving in Ujjain from distant places, home stay, parking and public facilities should be developed within a 100 km radius.

During the Simhastha, participation of local institutions and public participation should be encouraged. A separate bridge should be constructed for pedestrian pilgrims on the Kshipra river.
