Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma held a high-level meeting at the Chief Minister's residence on Saturday.

He discussed various development initiatives in the Eastern Rajasthan region and issued instructions to enhance the region's tourism.

The Chief Minister said that an action plan should be developed to explore the possibilities of new tourist destinations, including Ranthambore National Park in Sawai Madhopur, Keoladeo National Park in Palighat and Bharatpur, and Lohagarh Fort.

He also provided detailed guidelines for developing high-level facilities for pilgrims along the Braj Chaurasi Kos, Kailadevi Lake Bara, and Giriraj Ji Parikrama Marg. He also directed the expedited completion of various ongoing road works, flyovers, drainage, and sewerage projects.

Minister of State for Home Affairs Jawahar Singh Bedham, Chairman of the Rajasthan Heritage Authority Omkar Singh Lakhawat, and other public representatives and officials were present on the occasion. Other public representatives and officials joined via video conferencing.

Earlier on February 8, Sharma, along with Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari, flagged off the Alwar Tiger International Half Marathon 2026, a large-scale sporting and environmental awareness event held in Alwar district.

The event attracted nearly 20,000 runners from India and abroad. Actor Randeep Hooda also attended the event, lending support to the initiative.

The marathon, organised under the leadership of Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav, aimed to promote tiger conservation, environmental protection and physical fitness in line with the Centre's 'Fit India' movement.

Development of pilgrim facilities on Braj Chaurasi Kos and other routes is much needed. It will help devotees and boost religious tourism. But I hope they also ensure basic amenities like clean water and toilets are prioritized in these projects.

Meetings are fine, but execution is key. We've heard promises about road works and drainage for years. Let's see tangible results on the ground, especially before the next monsoon. The half marathon is a good event for awareness though.

As someone who visited Ranthambore last year, the infrastructure needs serious upgrade. Better roads and facilities will attract more international tourists. Combining conservation (like the marathon theme) with development is the right approach.

Focus on tourism and infrastructure is welcome, but what about industrial development and jobs for youth in these regions? A balanced approach is needed. The marathon getting 20,000 runners is impressive for Alwar!

Hope the development is inclusive and benefits local artisans and small businesses. Rajasthan's heritage is not just forts and parks, but also its people and crafts. The directives sound positive, bas ab implementation dekhte hain.
