In a recent Nashik Municipal Corporation general body meeting, a heated exchange unfolded between Mayor Himgauri Aher-Adke and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Keshav Porje, centered around the persistent issue of potholes plaguing the city. The confrontation took place amidst a tumultuous atmosphere, as the opposition criticized the administration for allowing potholes to cause difficulties and accidents.
Keshav Porje, representing the Thackeray faction, was particularly vocal during the debate, pointing fingers and raising concerns. Some corporators also took to holding up placards to voice their discontent.
The issue of potholes in Nashik has been a topic of concern for several months, exacerbated by road repair work, excavations for gas pipelines, development projects, and preparations for the 2027 Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Unfortunately, the deteriorating condition of the roads has led to tragic accidents in the past, with citizens losing their lives in pothole-related incidents.
The Mayor had previously pledged financial assistance of ₹5 lakh per family to the deceased in such cases during a special general body meeting in August.
The ongoing dispute between the Mayor and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader appears to be a continuation of the existing tension surrounding the pothole issue. The specifics of what was decided or the resolutions passed during the meeting remain undisclosed. As the matter remains sensitive for Nashik residents, it is expected to be a recurring theme in future meetings.
