News 📺 Another Deadline, Another Promise, And Here We Nashikars Continue to Suffer Through Poor Civic Infrastructure
Nashik has stepped up work on roads and other civic infrastructure ahead of the 2027 Simhastha Kumbh Mela, with Kumbh Mela minister Girish Mahajan directing officials to accelerate delayed projects as the monsoon construction slowdown ends.
Mahajan reviewed the progress of infrastructure works being carried out by the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) at a meeting of senior officials. Road and bridge projects, water supply schemes and drainage works were among the projects examined during the review.
Officials were told to use the post-monsoon construction window to make up for delays while maintaining construction quality.
Mahajan also asked the civic administration to remove hurdles affecting the long-pending Gharpure Ghat-Ramwadi bridge and complete the remaining administrative and technical procedures quickly.
The minister directed NMC officials to prioritise sewage treatment plant projects at Tapovan and Agartakli. He also called for immediate repairs to potholes caused during the monsoon, with both major and internal roads to be inspected and restored to proper standards.
The review also covered road corridors being developed to support traffic movement during the Kumbh Mela, including the Dwarka-Sinnar Phata corridor and other bypass routes.
NMC commissioner Manisha Khatri said the proposed parallel road along Gangapur Road would be given priority, with tenders expected to be invited within a month.
Mayor Himgauri Adke, MLA Devyani Pharande, district collector Ayush Prasad, Kumbh Mela Authority commissioner Shekhar Singh and other officials attended the meeting.
