He explained that in the earlier design, the Metro was planned to go underground from Nath Mandir Road near the high court, to Bada Ganpati. However, under the new plan, the route would now be taken underground from Khajrana itself. The minister further informed that a Malharganj Metro station would be constructed, but no houses or shops would be affected in the process. Using advanced tunnelling technology, similar to the one used in Chandni Chowk (Delhi), a machine would bore the tunnel without causing any surface damage. Vijayvargiya added, “We will hold meetings with local residents to explain that the Metro team must be allowed to work. Not even a flowerpot will be broken, everything will remain just as it is.” More about this section will be decided in detail after the company redesigns a significant route for the proposed underground track. Then feasibility testing and soil testing of the route will be started. The minister also directed officials to immediately disconnect all illegal water connections linked to under-construction water tanks and distribution lines under the AMRUT scheme. He emphasized that all road restoration work must be carried out using cutting machines rather than manual digging to maintain technical quality. Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav instructed that construction work under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana be completed at the earliest and suggested appointing a traffic engineer to plan future mobility systems. He also raised concern over the slow progress of the Marathi Kala Sankul project under the Smart City.

Minister Vijayvargiya said that officers would be held accountable for the rise in illegal colonies and instructed the launch of a strict campaign to prevent unauthorized construction. He urged officials to involve public representatives in all major decision-making processes to ensure better implementation and transparency. Highlighting Indore as Madhya Pradesh’s first self-reliant city, the minister said that the Municipal Corporation must focus on increasing revenue and reducing expenditure while maintaining high-quality infrastructure. He also praised the Mayor for his long-term vision of the Narmada Phase-IV project, calling it a farsighted step for Indore’s future.
