The loss of two sisters in road mishap at Pardi had failed to move administration of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), but a little prodding from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari was enough to send entire administration machinery into tizzy. Wheels of administration moved fast and on Monday Municipal Commissioner Abhijit Bangar established a special cell for resolving issues relating to land acquisition that has reportedly delayed ongoing work at Pardi.
The special cell headed by Assistant Commissioner (General Administration) Mahesh Dhamecha are asked to speed-up land acquisition process.

The meeting that lasted for nearly three hours discussed the issues that led to slowing down of construction work, the issues of land acquisition and related aspects.
After taking stock of the projects, Bangar clarified that there is no reason for delaying work on fly-over from Gomti Hotel Square upto Pardi Octroi Post as this stretch does not have any issue of land acquisition. Therefore officials monitoring the work should give priority for completion of this work. For land acquisition officials need to expedite the process and the issue should not be kept lingering or else officials are liable for administrative action, the Municipal Commissioner further warned.
