Deputy Chief Minister and Ajmer district in-charge minister Diya Kumari used a district review to press for quicker action on drinking water, power supply and pre-monsoon preparation across Ajmer. The meeting reviewed budget announcements, the summer contingency plan, the Vande Ganga water-conservation campaign and the progress of ongoing development works at the district headquarters.
For Jaipur readers, the update matters as a regional readiness check from one of the state's closest major urban neighbours. The review was less about a single announcement and more about whether Ajmer can keep basic civic systems stable through peak summer and into the coming monsoon.
Quick Highlights
- Diya Kumari ordered faster progress on Jal Jeevan Mission works and said enough budget was available under the summer contingency plan.
- Officials were told to use tankers where needed and prioritize drinking-water complaints in several city and rural areas.
- The review called for broken power poles and faulty transformers to be replaced quickly, with action to reduce electricity tripping.
- Ajmer was told to finish pre-monsoon drain cleaning, keep enough mud pumps ready and prevent colony flooding if Ana Sagar overflows.
- Under Hariyalo Rajasthan, the district has been given a target of more than 35 lakh saplings.
What the review prioritized
The drinking-water side of the meeting was especially detailed. Kumari said JJM works should be accelerated so residents get relief on time and that tanker-based supply should be used wherever necessary. She also directed officials to immediately examine local drinking-water problems in Hariom Colony, Chandravardai Nagar, Boraj and Hathikheda, while resolving complaints from rural areas including Roopangarh on priority.
Electricity supply was treated as part of the same public-service chain. The review called for a tighter power system with quick replacement of broken poles and damaged transformers, and a stronger response to power tripping because outages can directly disrupt both water production and distribution.
| Ajmer focus area | Direction from the review |
|---|---|
| Drinking water | Speed up JJM works, use tankers if needed and address complaints in named urban and rural areas on priority. |
| Electricity | Replace broken poles and faulty transformers quickly and reduce tripping so water supply systems are not hit. |
| Monsoon readiness | Identify waterlogging points, keep enough mud pumps, clean drains before the rains and prevent flooding if Ana Sagar overflows. |
| Plantation drive | Target more than 35 lakh saplings with stronger care, bigger saplings and preference for local species. |
Monsoon and plantation targets
With the monsoon approaching, officials were told to identify urban and rural waterlogging points, prepare an effective response plan and complete drain-cleaning work before the rains arrive. The review also called for faster progress on ongoing drain-construction works and technically sound arrangements so no colony faces waterlogging if Ana Sagar Lake overflows.
The greenery target was also unusually large. Under Hariyalo Rajasthan, Ajmer has been assigned a target of more than 35 lakh saplings. Kumari said the campaign should focus not just on planting, but on survival rates too, with public participation, larger saplings and local species getting priority.
More than a water review
The meeting also touched a wider administrative list: pending applications under the National Food Security Act, timely installments under the Lado Protsahan Yojana, faster land availability for works approved under the PM Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission and construction of two recharge shafts in each gram panchayat under the Karmabhumi se Matrubhumi campaign.
Kumari also directed officials to start household-waste processing quickly and speed up investment processes tied to Rising Rajasthan commitments. That makes the Ajmer review notable not just as a summer contingency exercise, but as a broader district-execution check tied to water, infrastructure, welfare delivery and seasonal preparedness at the same time.
