NASHIK: Nashik city mayor

Satish Kulkarni

has directed the civic officials to complete the remaining pre-monsoon works in the city at the earliest.


This directive came during the review meeting on pre-monsoon works with the civic officials recently. Kulkarni said around 80% of the pre-monsoon works like cleaning of nullahs, roadside drainage lines, chambers, stormwater lines, manholes etc have been completed.

But 20% of the pre-monsoon works are yet to be completed even though the monsoon has already arrived.

He instructed the officials to study the places in the city where waterlogging take place during the monsoon. He asked the officials to take measures to ensure there is no waterlogging in the city.

Nashik city engineer S Ghuge said most of the pre-monsoon works have already been completed and few remaining works are in progress. Those will be completed shortly.

The civic officials also expressed the need to buy more robotic machines to clean nullahs and three tributaries of the river Godavari. The mayor said two robotic machines will be bought and a financial provision of Rs 10 crore will be made in the budget of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) for the current financial year 2021-22.

Additional financial provision of Rs 25 crore will be made for the construction of new stormwater lines in the city in NMC’s budget, he added.
