Rs 342 Crore Road Development Approved To Ease Nashik West Traffic During Kumbh Mela

Nashik: To avoid traffic congestion caused by thousands of vehicles of devotees coming from all over the country during the Simhastha period, the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority has given administrative approval for the development of roads worth Rs 342 crore. The work is expected to be completed by March 2027, MLA Seema Hiray informed.

Since devotees from all over the country will come to Nashik for the Kumbh Mela, the city will be burdened by thousands of vehicles and lakhs of people. This should not cause any trouble to the locals.
