NMC to take over MIDC's fire station at Ambad industrial estate in city
Nashik: The civic body will take over the fire station owned by Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC). The fire station, built by the industrial development corporation, is located at Ambad industrial estate within the jurisdiction of Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC). The handover of the fire station from MIDC to NMC was stuck for the past three years as the former had demanded Rs 11 lakh from the civic body for handing over its fire station. The civic body was reluctant to pay the amount. During a recent meeting, state industry minister, Uday Samant, told both MIDC and NMC to sit together and decide about the handover within a week. The meeting was attended by the NMC commissioner Manisha Khatri, and senior officials of MIDC through video conference. Accordingly, the meeting between MIDC CEO and NMC commissioner is expected to be held in the next few days. During the recent meeting, Samant said that MIDC collected Rs 3 crore through fire cess from the industries in three years after it started its operation. But later, the fire cess by MIDC was cancelled as NMC was already recovering the fire cess from MIDC. Samant said both the authorities should sit together and find a solution to the issue. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like What She Did Mid-Air Left Passengers Speechless medalmerit Learn More Undo The fire station should be handed over from MIDC to NMC at the earliest. Accordingly, the meeting between NMC and MIDC authorities is expected to be held in the next few days. In fact, the cost of handing over the fire station to NMC was much higher, and the authority should have quoted a lower price. The industry minister was positive about sorting out fire cess issue, but MIDC's decision to demand a higher price from NMC delayed the decision. "We will soon launch an agitation if the issue is not settled at the earliest," said Dhananjay Bele, former president of Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association.
