Jaipur: <\/strong>Ramping\nup its efforts to get the old Walled City of Jaipur recognized as a world\nheritage site, the Rajasthan government may soon declare the area \u2013 known as\nParkota \u2013 a no-construction zone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the Walled City becomes a no-construction zone, a complete ban on any construction or renovation by families living there will be imposed. The Jaipur municipal corporation (JMC) will soon issue a notification in this regard, acting on the directions from the chief secretary DB Gupta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gupta held a meeting of senior officials of the civic bodies\nand tourism department on Monday to discuss the implications of this ban. Gupta\ninstructed the officials to go ahead with the proposal and implement it at the earliest\npossible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n All efforts of the tourism, archaeology departments and JMC\nto get the Walled City area recognized as the world heritage site have failed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Encroachments and traffic congestions are blamed for the\nWalled City not getting the recognition. Another major reason is the unplanned\nconstructions being carried out by the home owners living in the area. The\nWalled City doesn\u2019t meet the World Heritage site standards specified by the UNESCO.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the meeting held on Monday, it was decided that the\nWalled City will be divided into four parts for traffic permits. The local\nresidents and shopkeepers will be banned from making any changes to the facade\nof the building and structures. No new construction can be undertaken without\nprior permission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA committee consisting of a panel of experts will be constituted.\nPeople will have to get permission from the committee for any construction or renovation,\u201d\nsaid a senior administration official. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The meeting was attended by chief whip Mahesh Joshi, many\nMLAs and senior administration officers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jaipur: Ramping up its efforts to get the old Walled City of Jaipur recognized as a world heritage site, the Rajasthan government may soon declare the area \u2013 known as Parkota \u2013 a no-construction zone.
