Fresh survey finds dilapidated wadas in Nashik

In a recent survey, the civic authority discovered 1,192 wadas in poor condition.

Nashik West has the most decrepit wadas—701—followed by Panchawati (176 wadas) and Nashik East Division (127 wadas). Such wadas have occasionally collapsed in the past as a result of heavy rain. Over 15 wadas in the city had partially collapsed during the monsoon the previous year.

A wada close to the city's Ashok Stambh neighbourhood had collapsed at night a few months prior. No casualties were reported as a result of the collapse, however there were no people inside the wada. The wada's basement had been struck by an automobile, making the entire building unstable. At night, the wada caved in.

The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) approached the situation seriously.
