Good to see focus on Gwalior-Chambal region development! The drainage system proposal is much needed - every monsoon we face severe waterlogging issues. Hope these projects get approved quickly 🤞

While development is welcome, I hope there's proper monitoring of funds utilization. In the past, many such projects in MP have faced delays and corruption allegations. Transparency is key!

The Oxygen Park idea in Guna is brilliant! With increasing pollution levels, such green spaces are essential. Hope other cities take inspiration from this initiative.

As someone from Shivpuri, we desperately need better sanitation infrastructure. The current situation is pathetic. But why only focus on beautification? Basic amenities should be priority number one.

Interesting to see Northeast development being discussed alongside MP projects. Shows the government's pan-India vision. The Investor Summit could bring good opportunities if properly executed.

Themed roads and beautification are good, but what about employment generation? Development should also focus on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for local youth.
