Build PMAY Schemes With 1,000 Flats In Each Of 6 Constituencies, Says CM
Nagpur: In a major milestone under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) on Sunday handed over possession of 480 flats to economically weaker section (EWS) beneficiaries under the project Swapniketan, located at Mouza Wanjara. The symbolic key was handed over by chief minister Devendra Fadnavis , along with guardian minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule and minister of state Ashish Jaiswal. Addressing the gathering, CM Fadnavis congratulated the new homeowners and praised the quality of construction undertaken by NMC. "The same quality flat is being sold for Rs18 lakh in the adjacent scheme, but citizens are getting the flat under PMAY for Rs9 lakh," said Fadnavis. He also proposed that similar PMAY buildings — with at least 1,000 flats — should be developed in each of Nagpur's six assembly constituencies to ensure accessible housing for all. "PM Modi has already provided funds for building 30 lakh houses in the state this year. Out of the 12 crore population of Maharashtra, over 1.5 crore will be able to live in their own homes thanks to PM Modi," said Fadnavis. He also reaffirmed the govt's commitment to regularising slum dwellings and providing ownership rights to all families in the coming years. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo Fadnavis also instructed that the newly built Arogya Vardhini Kendra (Urban Health Wellness Centre) be showcased as a model of architectural excellence. Stressing Nagpur's place among India's green cities, he encouraged citizens to reduce private vehicle usage and make greater use of the eco-friendly electric bus service made available by the city administration. "Steps are being taken so that the private vehicle usage is reduced in the city and people should use public transport. In the future, Metro and E-bus services will be provided within 300m to 500m distance from any person's home, especially in suburbs," said Fadnavis. During the event, city beautification projects were also unveiled, including landscaping and decorative works under Mahdi Bagh, Dahi Bazar, Sakkardara, and Dighori flyovers. Notable among these were graffiti artworks at JP Nagar Metro Station, mural paintings of women and bicycles at major junctions, and a mural of an astronaut at Narendra Nagar Chowk. The teams from NMC, SDPL, and PMC were felicitated by the chief minister for their excellent implementation of the PMAY project.

IITMS pilot signals fail to deliver promised results
1 2 3 4 5 6 Nagpur: The much-anticipated Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) in Nagpur has failed to deliver the expected results. Although the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) initially announced the pilot's launch by June 15, it has now pushed the date further to June 25, following repeated glitches in system performance during test runs. As part of the pilot, the civic body installed new traffic signals and high-resolution cameras at 10 major junctions across the city to test the core features of the Rs 197-crore state-funded IITMS project. These junctions were equipped with modern signal systems, surveillance units, and electronic infrastructure meant to streamline traffic flow, monitor violations, and reduce congestion. "However, the early outcomes have been far from encouraging. The signals and surveillance network are not functioning reliably. After the hardware was installed, communication and coordination issues between the signals, control room, and field devices prevented the system from operating seamlessly," confirmed a senior NMC official privy to the development. NMC has formally communicated its dissatisfaction to the contractor responsible for the implementation. The city traffic police too have flagged multiple concerns, ranging from erratic signal synchronisation to system lags in transmitting real-time data to the control room. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo In response, the implementing company has been directed to address the technical shortcomings without further delay. The IITMS, once fully operational, is expected to offer multiple benefits — including adaptive traffic signalling, violation detection, real-time CCTV surveillance, and integration with the city police and NMC control rooms. The system's biggest promise lies in its ability to automatically detect violations such as red-light jumping, helmetless riding, and speeding, while also helping to manage peak-hour congestion. Despite these ambitious goals, the on-ground situation tells a different story. The pilot project, which should have been a showcase for smart traffic management, has instead become a point of concern for authorities already battling public criticism over rising violations and worsening traffic conditions. According to sources, the electric department has also raised concerns over technical integration and electricity supply stability, which are affecting signal performance. Meanwhile, messages and displays on the new signal poles have attracted public curiosity, but the system itself remains non-functional.

Nashik civic body starts process to outsource 1,175 sanitation workers
Nashik: The Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has initiated a fresh tender process to outsource 1,175 sanitation employees for cleaning operations. This comes after the Bombay high court invalidated the previous tender conditions earlier this year in Feb. These workers will be responsible for maintaining cleanliness along the Godavari river banks, specifically from the Ahilyabai Holkar Bridge to the Kapila Conflux, as well as in the Nashik East and Nashik West divisions. The selected agency will be awarded a five-year contract, with a potential extension of another three years based on satisfactory performance. The cost for this project has increased significantly, jumping from the previous Rs176 crore to Rs237 crore for the five-year term. The contract with the current sanitation agency has already ended, but the NMC has granted an extension until the end of Aug. Currently, the existing contractor provides 700 sanitation workers. However, the new contract aims to boost the workforce to 1,175, ensuring more comprehensive sanitation services in these key areas. On Feb 20, the high court had struck down some conditions laid down by the civic body in its tender and granted permission to reframe the terms related to work experience and financial net worth.
