Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 Prep: Nashik Municipal Corporation Pulls Up 18 Contractors For Missing Road Project Deadlines
The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has issued notices to 18 contractors handling 28 major road projects ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027, citing slow execution and missed milestones. The NMC has instructed the contractors to ramp up the pace to meet the March 2027 deadline.
The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has issued notices to 18 contractors handling 28 major road projects tied to preparations for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027, due to slow execution and missed milestones. The contractors have been told to ramp up the pace to meet the March 2027 deadline. The bottleneck lies in the construction of underground utility ducts, which has slipped on most stretches. As of 30 April, only about 15% progress had been achieved, against a target of 25%. The 28 projects carry an estimated price tag of Rs 1,270 crore and include utility shifting, widening, and connectivity upgrades. The NMC is also rolling out an integrated utility duct network to avoid repeated digging.
