- Changed alignment of West Bhopal Bypass approved;
- Meeting of Board of Directors of Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation held under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Dr. Yadav
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the state government is committed to farmer welfare. In the 2026 Farmer Welfare Year, numerous decisions are being taken in the interest of farmers, realizing the vision of a “prosperous farmer, a prosperous state.” Combine harvesters used for agricultural purposes will now be exempt from toll collection at Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation toll plazas.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav stated that combine harvesters are essential agricultural equipment used for harvesting crops. Exempting tolls on toll roads will reduce the harvester’s transportation costs. This will have a positive impact on the price of agricultural produce, proving beneficial for farmers. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav issued these instructions at a meeting of the Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation’s Board of Directors. Public Works Minister Mr. Rakesh Singh and Chief Secretary Mr. Anurag Jain were present at the meeting, held at Samatva Bhavan (Chief Minister’s residence).
In the meeting of the Board of Directors chaired by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, approval was given for the construction of Indore-Ujjain Green Field Road and Ujjain-Jawar Green Field Road as non-access control projects. The Board of Directors approved the changed alignment of West Bhopal Bypass and gave in-principle approval for its construction.

Additional Chief Secretary Mr. Sanjay Dubey, Mr. Manish Rastogi, Principal Secretary Public Works Mr. Sukhbir Singh, Principal Secretary Forest Mr. Sandeep Yadav and Managing Director Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation Mr. Bharat Yadav were present in the meeting.
