06 Sep 2021 CW Team

The Urban Development (UD) department of the state government has ordered the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) to send a proposal to redevelop 159 slums in the city under the slum rehabilitation scheme.

Additionally, the UD department approved several development projects in the city varying from norms relaxation for construction in gaothan (old city) area, a new direct pipeline from Darana dam to Nashik Road in line with a direct pipeline from the Mukane dam and offline submission and approval to building projects for the coming few months until the online process gets streamlined.

On Friday, Eknath Shinde, the Urban Development Minister, had a virtual meeting with the civic administration. Some of the Sena corporators, including Ajay Boraste, the opposition leader in the civic body city, Sudhakar Badgujar, Shiv Sena president, were also present in the meeting which was held in Mumbai.

In 2020, the state government had decided to make the civic organisations in the state lease out their properties at 8% of the Ready Reckoner (RR) rate. During the meeting, Sena corporators asked the minister to decrease it to 2.5% of the RR rate for registered social outfits. The minister said that the amendment would be made in the existing lease norms for the civic organisations in the state.

Boraste said that the UD Minister ordered the civic administration to make a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the direct pipeline from Darna dam to Nashik Road that will resolve the water problem of the Nashik Road division of the NMC.
