The work on the project worth 980 crores in the capital Jaipur has been stopped.

Jaipur Metro: The Jaipur Metro has stopped the work of Phase-1C. It is believed that the work has been stopped on the instructions of the government. The government will first review the project and then decide its future. According to sources, the work has been stopped for the past few days.

According to metro officials, only 5% of the work has been completed on this route so far. In this matter, an attempt was made to contact the Managing Director of Metro, Vaibhav Galriya, but he could not be contacted. A message was also sent to him, but no response was received.
