Igatpuri, Nashik

NMC has planned to establish 30 'safe school zones' near schools across the city to enhance student safety. These zones will focus on regulating vehicular movement, reducing traffic speed, and improving pedestrian infrastructure. The initiative aims to minimize accident risks and encourage safer commuting practices like walking and cycling for students.

In the last seven years, over 16,000 old properties in Nashik have been redeveloped. This trend indicates a significant push towards urban renewal and modernization of the city's housing stock, potentially leading to improved living conditions and increased property values in older areas.

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) requires approximately Rs 700 crore for the development of colony roads and roads in newly emerging areas. A detailed blueprint is being prepared for submission to the state government. This initiative aims to address the deteriorating condition of many colony roads and improve connectivity in developing zones, ensuring better urban infrastructure for residents.

Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis expressed confidence in Nashik's development potential, driven by infrastructure investments for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. A Rs 33,000 crore investment is planned for infrastructure, including improved connectivity, dry ports, and ring roads, aiming to create a Rs 3 lakh crore economy in Nashik over the next decade.
