Nearly 15 months after the transport department shifted bus operations from Narayan Singh Circle, and three months after traffic police diverted Transport Nagar-bound buses via Shanti Path, JDA Circle has become an unauthorised bus halt. The stop is choking the JLN Marg–Shanti Path crossing, one of Jaipur’s busiest junctions. Police deny granting permission.

• Jaipur Metro Railway Corporation (JMRC) has revised the 2.85-km Pink Line 1C extension from Badi Chaupar to Transport Nagar, dropping the previously proposed Ramganj Chaupar station.
• The new plan keeps the line underground from Badi Chaupar beneath the Walled City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to an underground station at Galta-ji Crossing on Delhi Road. It then becomes elevated and ends at Transport Nagar.
• JMRC chairman and managing director Vaibhav Galriya confirmed the revised alignment. Officials cited heritage protection, reduced surface construction, traffic disruption and inconvenience to residents and shopkeepers, and said Galta-ji may attract more passengers.
• The extension received financial approval for Rs 993.51 crore in November 2022; former chief minister Ashok Gehlot laid its foundation stone in September 2023.
• After the BJP government took office, the project was put on hold for a feasibility review. The government considered diverting it towards Amer Road via Hawa Mahal Road, drawing criticism from Congress leaders.
• Congress MLA Rafeek Khan questioned removing Ramganj Chaupar, arguing the proposed stations are also not far apart. Both Ramganj Chaupar and Galta-ji fall within Adarsh Nagar Assembly constituency.
