Sagar Watch News/ Sagar city took another step towards cultural development with the bhoomi pujan ceremony for the beautification of Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk, one of the city’s busiest intersections. The project aims to improve traffic flow while also strengthening the city’s cultural identity.

Addressing the programme, Mayor Mrs Sangeeta Tiwari said the occasion was a matter of pride for the entire city. She described Bhagwan Parshuram as a symbol of justice, bravery, penance, and social harmony, and said giving the chowk a planned and beautiful look would further strengthen Sagar’s cultural consciousness.

“Beautification is not just about bricks and stones. It reflects a city’s thinking, its identity, and the legacy we leave for future generations,” the Mayor said.

She assured that the work at Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk would be completed within the stipulated time and with high quality. She also highlighted that after the naming of Civil Lines Chowk as Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk, several positive initiatives for the Vipra (Brahmin) community have taken shape in the city. 

She cited examples such as the inauguration of a building in Shivaji Ward in the name of Bhagwan Parshuram and the construction of another large building near Maa Harsiddhi Temple in Baghraj Ward.

“All this has been possible because of unity. There is strength in organisation, as our scriptures also say,” she added.

The Mayor further informed that the Municipal Council has already approved her announcement to install the world’s tallest 35-foot statue of Bhagwan Parshuram, which will be erected in the coming time with public consensus.

MLA Mr Shailendra Kumar Jain called the occasion a moment of great fortune for Sagar. He thanked the Mayor, Municipal Corporation leadership, BJP district president, and MIC members for renaming and beautifying the Civil Lines Chowk in the name of Bhagwan Parshuram.

“Great personalities are the nation’s assets. For the statue of Bhagwan Parshuram, land will be taken either from government or private sources, and its cost will be duly paid,” he said.

He informed that half an acre of land has been cleared in Baghraj Ward for the Bhagwan Parshuram building, and the Madhya Pradesh government has sanctioned ₹70 lakh for its construction. He thanked Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav for the support. The MLA also announced that he would contribute funds from private sources or his MLA fund for installing the statue of Bhagwan Parshuram.

Mr Jain praised the Municipal Corporation for developing Vande Mataram Chowk and said that beautification work, including statues of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Jijabai, and Rani Ahilyabai on Sanjay Drive, would be completed within 15 days. He also shared plans to hold discussions on installing statues of Lord Shiva and Lord Hanuman on Sagar’s hills.

BJP District President Mr Shyam Tiwari congratulated the Mayor, MIC members, and the Municipal Corporation for the historic decision to name the busy chowk after Bhagwan Parshuram.

“Such cultural and creative works inspire future generations,” he said, adding that this was a long-standing demand of the Brahmin community.

He highlighted that the BJP government has worked for all communities by providing community halls and naming roads after martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the nation. He also suggested installing a name plaque at Bhagwan Parshuram Chowk and said that a grand statue should be established there in the future.

The programme concluded with expressions of gratitude to public representatives and citizens for their suggestions, cooperation, and support, reaffirming the city’s commitment to balanced development that preserves both progress and tradition.

Senior officials from the Urban Development and Housing Department, Bhopal, Municipal Commissioner, and officers from all municipal corporations, municipalities, and councils of Sagar division attended the event.

  • Urban Local Bodies (ULBs): Local government institutions like municipal corporations, municipalities, and councils that manage city services.

  • Biodiversity: The variety of plants, animals, and other living organisms in an area.

  • Local Species: Plant varieties that naturally grow in the region and survive better with less care.

  • Sustainable Development: Development that meets today’s needs without harming the environment for future generations

Officials were briefed on government guidelines, which require every urban local body to meet its tree plantation targets for 2026, while also ensuring the protection and proper growth of planted saplings.

Municipal Commissioner said the campaign is not limited to planting trees but is a long-term commitment to providing a clean, green, and safe environment for future generations. He stressed that tree planting is essential to address rising pollution, increasing temperatures, and water scarcity in cities.

Experts highlighted the long-term benefits of tree plantation, including improved air quality, water conservation, temperature control, biodiversity protection, and better public health. 

Emphasis was also laid on using local plant species to create sustainable green spaces. A live telecast of state-level activities under the campaign helped officials learn about ongoing innovations and best practices.

Sagar Watch - October 30, 2025 0

Sagar Watch News

Sagar Watch News/ The city corporation is launching an important initiative to stop the wastage of drinking water in the city called the "Faucet Installation Campaign," led by Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri. 

On Thursday, Commissioner Mr. Khatri visited the narrow lanes of the Krishnagar ward and checked the faucets after observing a strong flow in the drains. 

Those without faucets were educated about the importance of water, and the corporation's team installed faucets to prevent the wastage of drinking water. 

He noted that seeing the drain water flowing onto the road in these narrow lanes indicates that the wastage of drinking water not only leads to water loss but also affects the cleanliness of the city. 

By fixing faucet connections and various leaks in the city, the unnecessary flow of water will be stopped. This will prevent the roads from getting wet and accumulating dust and mud. 

Our sanitation workers will be able to clean easily, and the cleaning of drains will also become easier. Under this campaign, faucets will be installed in areas of the city where there are none, and citizens will be made aware of water conservation.

Commissioner Mr. Khatri mentioned that due to the absence of faucets in many places, a large amount of water is wasted during the drinking water supply, and if measured, it could amount to several gallons. 

This campaign will raise awareness among citizens and improve the monitoring by the corporation team, which will stop the accumulation of dirt on the roads and unnecessary wastage of water. 

The commissioner appealed to citizens, stating that by installing faucets, we can not only save water but also contribute to keeping our city clean and beautiful. The cooperation of citizens in water conservation is essential for the success of this campaign. 

The campaign to relocate dairies outside the city also continues. On Thursday, he inspected the Krishnanj Ward and instructed a dairy operator to move operations outside city limits. The operator’s water connection was disconnected, and officials were ordered to cut water supply to others who fail to relocate. Khatri emphasized that operating dairies within the city is strictly prohibited and relocation is essential for the city’s welfare.

He also clarified that if any area is found to be wasting water after a week, necessary action will be taken against the concerned individual. He urged citizens to ensure their connections are installed inside their homes and to turn off the faucet after filling water.

Saving every drop is essential for water conservation, and we can ensure sufficient availability of drinking water, a vital component of life, for our future generations.

Officials and employees from the city corporation and Tata Company were present during the campaign. Faucets were installed in the Krishnagar ward, and citizens were made aware of the importance of water and its conservation.

As per the commissioner's directives, a helpline number has been issued to stop water wastage. Following the instructions of Commissioner Mr. Rajkumar Khatri, helpline numbers have been issued by the officials of the city corporation and Tata for installing faucets and stopping water wastage in all wards. ]

Citizens can report water wastage by calling 07582-244552 for Pantnagar ward, 07582-366240 for Karila Sant Ravidas ward, 07582-367565 for Motinagar ward, and 07582-354590 for Shani Chari ward. After receiving the information, action will be taken to install faucets and stop water wastage in the relevant wards.

The dairies inspected included Kanha Dairy, Shankar Gyarsi Dairy, Raju Yadav Dairy, Bablu Yadav Dairy, Tilak Ghoshi Dairy, and Janu Yadav Dairy. During the inspection, the Municipal Commissioner noted severe sanitation issues, with animal dung and wastewater flowing directly into the city’s drainage system. 

The accumulation of waste has reportedly caused foul odors, drain blockages, and mosquito infestations, posing significant health risks to residents.

The Commissioner emphasized that relocating dairies is essential for maintaining the city’s cleanliness, beauty, and development, as well as protecting citizens from the dangers of stray animals and related traffic issues. He said the Dairy Relocation Project (Hafsili) will be implemented rigorously to ensure Sagar achieves top rankings in cleanliness.

Reiterating the administration’s commitment, the Commissioner stated that the campaign to make Sagar free from stray animals has been revived and will continue until every dairy within city limits is removed. 

The Municipal Corporation also assured full support to cooperative dairy operators, promising assistance with essential needs during relocation.

Meanwhile, officials have been instructed to extend all necessary cooperation to dairy owners who follow relocation directives and to take strict legal action against those who resist.
