NMC rids crematoriums of 78.3 tonne waste
1 2 Nagpur: As part of 'Swachhta Apnao, Bimari Bhagao' campaign, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and Nagpur Smart City conducted a deep-cleaning drive across all ten administrative zones on Saturday, focusing on crematoriums (ghats) and surrounding areas. The initiative led to the collection of 78.3 tonne garbage, improving hygiene and aesthetics around these sites. The drive was carried out under the guidance of municipal commissioner and administrator Abhijeet Chaudhari, additional commissioner Vasumana Pant, and chief sanitation officer Dr Gajendra Mahalle. Pant formally flagged off the campaign from Shantinagar ghat in Satranjipura zone. Intensive cleaning included clearing debris, cutting grass overgrowth, and removal of solid waste from the crematorium premises. Crematoriums that were cleaned during the drive include Shantinagar ghat (Satranjipura), Gangabai ghat (Gandhibagh), Mokshadham ghat (Dhantoli), Ambazari ghat (Dharampeth), Dighori ghat (Nehru Nagar), Pardi ghat (Lakadganj), Vaishali Nagar ghat (Ashi Nagar), Sahakar Nagar ghat (Laxmi Nagar), Manewada ghat (Hanuman Nagar), Mankapur ghat and Mahesh Nagar ghat (Mangalwari). At 28 tonne, Ashinagar zone reported the highest amount of waste collected zone-wise, followed by Satranjipura (20 tonne), Gandhibagh (11 tonne), Lakadganj (5 tonne), Mangalwari (4.3 tonne), Hanuman Nagar, Dhantoli, and Nehru Nagar (2 tonne each), and Dharampeth and Laxmi Nagar (1.5 tonne each). A fleet comprising six JCBs, ten tippers, 32 small and large collection vehicles, and multiple garbage trucks from RRR (reduce, reuse, recycle) centres was deployed for the operation. The clean-up campaign also saw active participation from various NGOs and citizen groups. Volunteers from Tejaswini Mahila Manch, led by Kiran Mundda, and Green Vigil Foundation contributed to the drive. Among the prominent volunteers were Kaustubh Chatterjee, Aanchal Verma, Surbhi Jaiswal, Mehul Kosurkar, Sheetal Choudhary, Vishnudev Yadav, and Shriya Jogey. According to NMC officials, the drive was a prelude to more such sanitation campaigns ahead of Ganesh festival and monsoon season. The aim is to eliminate public health hazards and ensure a cleaner urban environment, especially around critical civic infrastructure like crematoriums.

Maharashtra cabinet approves ₹1,000 stamp duty for Nagpur smart city-hit homes
NAGPUR : In a major relief for beneficiaries affected by the Nagpur Smart City project, the Maharashtra cabinet on Tuesday approved a significant concession in stamp duty charges for houses allotted under the 'Home Sweet Home' rehabilitation scheme. The meeting was chaired by CM Devendra Fadnavis . As per the decision, only Rs1,000 stamp duty will be levied for the registration of lease deeds for 28 houses allocated in Mouza Punapur to families displaced by the Smart City project. Earlier, the stamp duty for these registrations was estimated to be around Rs40,000 to Rs45,000, which posed a major financial burden for the low-income beneficiaries. The beneficiaries were demanding a reduction, citing the precedent set under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), where a nominal Rs1,000 stamp duty was charged. Taking note of the demand, the state govt has now extended the same benefit to the 28 homes constructed for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS) in Mouza Punapur. These houses were provided as rehabilitation to those whose original homes were acquired for Smart City infrastructure development in Nagpur. This move is expected to ease the financial strain on the affected families and expedite the registration process, enabling them to secure legal ownership of their new homes.
