Nashik: Ganesh Gite-Led Non-Official Administrative Board Appointed For APMC

The state Marketing Department has appointed a non-official administrative board to manage the affairs of the Nashik Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) in Nashik. Former Nashik Municipal Corporation Standing Committee chairman Ganesh Gite became the new chairman of the board, with Balasaheb Sanap, Sachin Bhaskar Dikhle and Bapu Pingle joining as members. The appointment took effect on October 3, following the removal of the previous elected board due to internal disputes and political disagreements.

Kundan Bhole, the District Deputy Registrar and Chief Administrator of the market committee, presented the appointment letters to the new officials. The newly formed administrative board is expected to prioritize addressing the concerns of farmers, traders, and employees, improving infrastructure, and increasing market revenues. They are also tasked with enhancing facilities related to sanitation, traffic management, auctions, agricultural produce handling, and overall market-yard infrastructure.

The administrative board's mandate is set to last for six months, or until the APMC election process is completed, whichever comes first. This interim board will focus on resolving immediate administrative issues and preparing for the future elected body. The Nashik APMC plays a crucial role in marketing agricultural produce from Nashik and the surrounding regions, and farmers, traders, commission agents, and other stakeholders are eagerly awaiting improvements in market facilities, transparency, and the prompt resolution of longstanding problems.
