Summary:

This will be monetarily beneficial for the city as well.”The Walled City contains many historically valued hawelis, temples and buildings. Some of these date back to 200 years and if the tag of Heritage city is given, then they can come under the purview of the JMC administration for taking special care of these structures, to maintain the Heritage city tag. If Jaipur gets the tag of ‘Heritage city’, this will put it on the world map and will attract more tourism.
