Roads in Nashik city deteriorate after heavy rain spell despite recent repairs
Nashik: Roads in the city have taken a hit from continuous rainfall, with potholes reappearing and making driving hazardous, despite Nashik Municipal Corporation's recent efforts to fill over 8,000 potholes at Rs 6 crore using granular sub-base (GSB) material comprising construction debris, murum and macadams. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But the recent spells of heavy showers undid the repairs, leaving motorists at risk once again. The residents said potholes have emerged on multiple city roads, including the inner ring road, Tarwala Nagar junction, Amrutdham, Rasbihari junction, Dindori Road, Peth Road, Jail Road, Nashik Road, Satpur and Ambad MIDC. Even the flyover stretch towards Bytco point has deteriorated after the monsoon, adding to the woes of commuters, they said. Give the pitiable condition of several reads, the residents suggested that NMC should use cold-mix material or alternative methods to repair the roads during the monsoon, instead of using murum and macadams. Resident Manoj Chaugule questioned NMC's approach to road repairs, saying, "If NMC can't repair roads permanently using tar during the monsoon, it should opt for cold mix or other technology. Why does NMC insist on murum and macadam on tar roads for temporary filling potholes as they are not of use and nothing but a waste of tax money?" The condition of Nashik's roads worsened after being dug up by MNGL and other agencies for gas pipeline and other projects. Despite NMC's plan to repair them by April or May, the work wasn't completed, leaving the roads in a poor state. An NMC official explained the delay in road repairs, saying, "We issued an ultimatum to MNGL and other agencies to complete their works by May 15. We planned to repair the roads with tar thereafter, but the rainfall started on May 6 and continued, forcing us to temporarily fill potholes with granular sub-base materials instead." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now NMC plans to undertake major road repairs after the monsoon. "Stretches on some roads are also to be re-laid... All the road works are to be undertaken after the rains are over," said another official, adding that tenders worth over Rs 90 crore have already been finalized and work orders issued to contractors.

Nashik civic body starts repairing city roads, fills over 6,000 potholes in a week
Nashik: With the rain taking a break, the Nashik Municipal Corporation's (NMC) public works department has commenced extensive road repair operations across the city. The civic administration announced on Tuesday that it had successfully filled 6,226 potholes across the six divisions within the last week alone. These crucial road repair efforts began ahead of chief minister Devendra Fadnavis's two-day visit to Nashik city on Sunday and Monday. During his visit, the chief minister travelled through various city roads while attending multiple programmes. The condition of roads in Nashik had significantly worsened due to continuous heavy rainfall last month, posing considerable risks to motorists. Furthermore, roads excavated by Maharashtra Natural Gas Ltd (MNGL) for laying piped natural gas pipelines added to the deterioration. While the NMC had initially planned to begin repair works from May 15, persistent showers prevented these efforts. Now, with the rainfall having ceased, the civic body has been able to fully embark on its road repair agenda. An NMC official, while talking to TOI, said they conducted a fresh survey of the city roads and found around 9,000 potholes in various parts of the city. "So far, we have filled 6,226 potholes and the remaining will be repaired shortly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now At 3,831, most potholes were repaired in the Panchavati division followed by over 2,800 potholes in the Cidco division," the official said.

Nashik civic body to use GSB material to temporarily fix potholes across city
Nashik: Continuous rainfall in May has worsened road conditions in parts of Nashik city. As tarring work is not possible owing to the downpour, the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has opted for temporary repairs using Granular Sub-base (GSB) material. The civic body had initially planned to begin tarring of roads on May 15, but persistent rain led to delays. Areas significantly affected include Ambad, the Tarwala Nagar-Amrutdham route, various parts of Panchavati, Cidco division, Dindori, Makhamalabad, Peth Road, Jail Road, and Satpur. Nashik has experienced heavy rainfall for the past few weeks, severely impacting most city roads. Adding to the problem, some roads damaged during last year's monsoon are yet to be repaired. The NMC, during a survey conducted earlier this year in Feb, had identified 10,000 potholes in various parts of the city. Municipal commissioner Manisha Khatri also gave a deadline of March-end to complete the repair works of all the potholes. The public works department (PWD), however, could repair only 70% of the potholes. Moreover, the roads that were dug by the Maharashtra Natural Gas Ltd (MNGL) and other organisations for piped natural gas installations have deteriorated the road conditions of most of the city roads as they are yet to be repaired. The NMC has already issued work orders of around Rs90 crore to the agencies concerned for repairs and resurfacing of some roads. It also includes Rs52 crore for repair of roads dug by the MNGL and other agencies. The remaining amount will be spent on repairing roads across all six divisions. An NMC official, while talking to TOI, said, "The plan was to start road repair works from May 15, but rain played spoilsport. Now, as it is still raining, it is not possible to carry out tar works. Hence, instructions have been given to officials concerned to repair the road potholes temporarily using the GSB material," a senior NMC official said. "Instructions have been given to the PWD officials to submit the reports related to road repair works after every alternate day. Our objective is to repair the roads at least temporarily so that the city residents would not face inconvenience due to the bad condition of some of the city roads," the official added.

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) plans to commence road repairs within two to three days of the rainfall subsiding. The civic body has already issued work orders worth Rs 90 crore to relevant agencies for road repairs and resurfacing selected road sections. The continuous heavy rainfall in Nashik over the past two weeks has taken a toll.

The deterioration is particularly noticeable in the Cidco division, the Tarwala Nagar-Amrutdham route, various sections of Dindori, Makhamalabad, Peth Road, Jail Road, both Satpur and Ambad MIDC areas, and other locations across Nashik city. NMC officials said their initial plan to begin repairs on May 15 had to be delayed due to rainfall.
