Priority will also be given to the operation of public activities like Anna Kshetra, Dharamshala, Ashram, Medical Centre, Ayurveda Centre, etc, through the interested Sanatan Dharma followers of the society.
The CM said that it is our priority that our religious leaders come around all the Dev Sthans. Permission will be given to the saints for the construction of ashram in such a way that the building can be constructed on only one bigha of 5 bigha plot. The remaining 4 bigha plot will remain open, in which there is enough open space for parking etc. arrangements.
This permission will be given only to saints, mahants, akhara pramukhs, and mahamandleshwars.

Development work will be done keeping in mind the religious basic nature of Ujjain. The CM also said that in-principle approval has also been given for the operation of Indore-Ujjain metro train. Circle Vande metro train will also be operated connecting Ujjain, Dewas, Fatehabad, and Indore whose speed will be higher than that of the metro train.
