Jaora (Madhya Pradesh): Four years of hardwork has removed all obstacles in beautification of Jalliyakhal. The working plan for project worth Rs 14.57 crore was approved after tendering process.

Jalliyakhal is a rain water drainage system. It starts from four-lane over bridge and Naya Malipura in the town and moves towards Rapat Road, Palace area, Bade Shankar Mandir, Hathikhana, Udasi ki Bari, Dargah near Mahendranagar to about 4.4 kilometres in residential settlement. Right now the problem is that 28 drains flowing through the town are fall in this Jalliyakhal and causes problems during monsoon resulting in foul smell pervading the surrounding area and also threatens outbreak of water-borne diseases.
