Jaipur: As the concept of Masala Chowk has become successful in Jaipur, the state government has decided to open similar ventures in six cities of Rajasthan. A group of officers of six districts will be visiting Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) on Wednesday to learn about the success of this concept.New cities where this will be replicated include Ajmer, Alwar, Jodhpur, Kota, Udaipur and Bikaner. Chief secretary Devendra Bhushan Gupta, held a video conference few days back with the collectors of all the six districts and directed them to replicate the same in their districts.All the collectors were asked to send one representative to JDA to learn their mode of operation of constructing and managing the Masala Chowk.Additional chief engineer, Virendra Singh Sunda will be conducting the meeting with all the officers and guide them about the project. “We will brief the officers about ‘Masala Chowk’ project in totality and answer their queries if they have any and will take them to visit the place. JDA is maintaining the place very effectively and every day around 2000 people visit on weekdays and on weekend the numbers go up to 4000. If the same project is repeated in other districts then there will be more revenue for the government,” said Sunda.Masala Chowk was constructed in Ramniwaas Bagh in Jaipur near Albert Hall to provide a new hangout space to the people. The concept has become very famous which is visited by thousands of people every day after paying an entry fee of Rs 10. Entire project costs around Rs 700 crores includes many eateries serving Rajasthani cuisines and an open air theatre with artists performing live.If the project is successful in other cities as well, then it will again be extended to 12 more cities of the state.
