Civic projects worth crores lie idle in Nashik city even after inauguration
Nashik: Several civic projects worth crores of rupees have remained non-operational in Nashik city despite being inaugurated over the past one to two years. The projects include Goda Park near Ramwadi, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Garden adjacent to Ahilyabai Holkar bridge on the Godavari river bank, an auditorium in Hirawadi, a swimming pool on Gangapur Road, and an emergency operation centre. These projects were inaugurated around one or two years ago but have yet to become operational. Nashik Municipal Smart City Development Corporation Ltd (NMSCDCL) constructed these projects, including Goda Park, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Garden, and the emergency operation centre, before transferring them to Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC). Additionally, the smart city corporation completed the command and control room project, but it remains non-operational and has not been handed over to the civic body. The auditorium at Hirawadi locality in Panchavati was built on six acres by the NMC for Rs 22 crore. The auditorium, with a 644 seating capacity, was inaugurated one and a half years ago before Lok Sabha polls in 2024. Furthermore, the smart city corporation developed Goda Park on the Godavari river bank near Ramwadi at Rs 20 crore. The project is part of the Rs 75 crore Godavari beautification initiative at Godaghat near Ramkund and Ramwadi. Goda Park includes facilities such as a food court, a sitting area, three types of fountains, a children's play area, a viewing deck, and boating access. Civic officials said the smart city corporation handed over the project to the garden department of the NMC, which is deploying a private agency to operate, manage Goda Park. Additionally, a new swimming pool on Gangapur Road is set to become operational soon. The tender process to appoint an agency for operating and managing the swimming pool has commenced. The swimming pool is expected to open within the next couple of months, according to NMC officials. "We have already floated the bids for the deployment of the private agency for the purpose. The entry fees are to be charged from the visitors at Goda Park. We are expecting the project will be operational in Aug," said NMC officials. Other civic projects, including the emergency operation centre and the auditorium at Hirawadi, are slated to become functional shortly, added the officials.

We set the target of laying OFC lines within 15 months from the day of allotting the work order to the private firm concerned," said More. The OFC lines will connect the offices of all authorities, police stations, and hospitals, integrating all the CCTVs through command-and-control centres. This will enable the authorities to implement Internet of Things (IoT)-based safety projects and sensors during the Kumbh Mela to maintain security and manage the huge crowd. Around 1,300 CCTVs have already been installed in Nashik city, while another 3,500 CCTVs are to be installed in view of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
