The last hurdle in the Dravyavati river rejuvenation project was removed on Friday with the Jaipur Municipal Corporation (JMC) razing 40 structures at Durga and Kanta colonies at the river flow area in Hasanpura.During this time, the eight project-affected families were rehabilitated immediately. 

The civic body provided a vehicle to carry the goods of the affected families. In the 48-kilometer stretch of the Dravyavati river, work has not started as yet in the Hasanpura area. 

Due to encroachments on the river flow area here, the Tatas did not start work. There were more than 40 encroachments at a distance of 300 meters near Rawal Ji Ka Bandha in Hasanpura. With the help of the local police, the JMC removed all the 40 encroachments on Friday. All constructions were demolished during the eight-hour operation

Under the leadership of deputy commissioner (Civil Lines Zone) Ram Ratan Sharma and Deputy Commissioner (Vigilance) Bagh Singh, the municipal team started demolishing the encroachments at 10 in the morning.

The police force was deployed in large numbers as the area was a sensitive one and there was a possibility of agitation. Three companies of RAC were deployed. Apart from this, cops of the police lines and from four police stations were also deployed. The municipal corporation started demolishing the encroachment with five bulldozers and five lokanda machines.

Initially, some families protested against the action being taken by the municipal authorities. But the police persuaded them to calm down.
