As the Simhastha Kumbh Mela preparations intensify, Nashik city officials have announced that the Ramkund and surrounding ghats will be closed to devotees for a period of 15 to 20 days. The closure aims to expedite the completion of pending infrastructure projects in the Goda Ghat region, with a focus on paving, concreting, and setting up essential amenities.
Entry restrictions will be enforced between Ahilyabai Holkar Bridge and Talukteshwar Temple, though arrangements for post-death rituals will continue at designated locations. Kumbh Mela Commissioner Shekhar Singh and Municipal Commissioner Manisha Khatri explained that the decision was made after consultations with local leaders.
The administration is working swiftly to complete the works, including the inauguration of a new ghat at Ramkund, the installation of stone steps, and repair work on nearby ghats. A special cleanliness drive has been launched in the Ramkund, Godavari Ghat, and Gandhi Talav areas, with fire tenders deployed to clean the area daily. All agencies are coordinating to ensure the flag-hoisting ceremony is completed on schedule.
