Imagine a green sanctuary just 3 km from Jaipur Airport—home to rare birds, ancient trees, and clean air. Now imagine it all… gone.
This Forest in Jaipur, once called the lungs of the city, is facing devastation for commercial projects. But do we really need malls more than life itself?
🌳 What Is Dhol Ka Badh Forest Jaipur?
This Forest in Jaipur spans over 100 acres near Sanganer. It is home to over 2,400 native trees, 60+ bird species, and wildlife like hares and antelope. The region provides clean air and ecological balance in a rapidly urbanizing city.
The Dhol Ka Badh Forest Jaipur is one of the few remaining ecological hotspots in the region.
🏗️ Why Is Dhol Ka Badh Forest Jaipur Under Threat?
RIICO has proposed a ₹170 crore mega-development including:
- PM Unity Mall
- Fintech Park
- Residential housing
- Hotels and Rajasthan Mandapam
This plan will result in the loss of over 2,500 trees and irreparable ecological damage.
The proposed construction over Dhol Ka Badh Forest Jaipur could alter its delicate ecosystem permanently.
