The newly created district Beawar is on its way to set up the required infrastructure and government buildings for smooth functioning as a district.
Beawar collector Mahendra Khadgawat told The BuckStopper that the administration so far has allotted land to 121 different departments.
“We have allotted land and given required permission for construction of building. Soon, Beawar will have mini secretariat and district headquarters of other department,” he said.
Khadgawat, who took over as collector in September 2024, has embarked upon few initiatives which have hit the headlines. Among those initiatives are crackdown against mining mafia and health check up of highway drivers including bus and truck drivers.
“Cases of illegal mining have drastically come down after the crackdown. The government has heavy penalty on mines not functioning in a proper manner. Similarly, hundreds of truck drivers have been given spectacles after their eye check up for safe driving,” said an officer of district administration.
Beawar, which was earlier part of Ajmer district, was carved out in August 2023 by reconstitution of tehsils of four districts – Ajmer, Pali, Rajsamand and Bhilwara.
The BuckStopper, run by a group of seasoned journalists, holds the powerful accountable. The buck stops with them, as they cannot shrug off their official responsibilities.
