Uti, Nagpur

Nagpur is facing a severe parking crisis, with vehicles occupying a significant portion of road width, leading to traffic congestion and pedestrian issues. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari have called for immediate corrective measures and long-term planning, emphasizing the need to integrate adequate parking facilities.

The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has collected only Rs 2,680.27 crore in the first 10 months of the financial year, achieving barely 48% of its Rs 5,565 crore budget target. Internal revenue heads like property tax and water charges have fallen short of targets. This financial shortfall raises concerns about the corporation's ability to fund upcoming infrastructure demands and civic works.
