In September, the state government had constituted two separate bodies to oversee the planning and execution of the event. A ministerial committee led by Water Resources and Disaster Management Minister Girish Mahajan was tasked with monitoring on-ground developments. This committee also includes key ministers from Nashik district, Chhagan Bhujbal, Dadaji Bhuse and Manikrao Kokate, along with Uday Samant, Shivendrasinh Raje Bhosale and Jaykumar Rawal.
Parallelly, a summit committee was formed under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Fadnavis. This high-level panel will serve as the apex decision-making body, while secretaries and officers from various state departments will form the executive committee responsible for implementing decisions.
