Administration completes panchnama of 3,000 houses in a single day

 

 

 

Trying to reach out of citizens distressed in the aftermath of torrential rains that led to flooding of Naag River, Revenue and Civic Administration is working round the clock leading to completion of spot panchnama of 3,000 affected houses. Side by side, the civic administration is going all out to assuage the hurt feeling of citizens and on Monday, they handed out food kits to citizens in the affected areas. Although water has subsided, the sludge and foul smell still persists on the banks of Naag River. While the focus is on areas adjacent to Naag River, other localities near nullahs and streams too faced the wrath of nature. Foul water gushed into low lying houses, damaging the furniture and household material. But major worry for citizens is how to overcome the foul smell in their houses. Also, the mixture of grey water in household well and water pipes is another major cause of concern.

 

The district and civic administration is working at feverish pace as within one day, they completed inspection of 3,000 houses. Nearly 10,000 houses were reportedly affected by flood waters. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is in constant touch with the local administration and is seeking regular updates on the situation. Municipal Commissioner and Administrator Dr Abhijeet Chaudhari personally visited various localities affected by floods and interacted with citizens.

 

Meanwhile, life is slowly limping back to normalcy in Ambazari and Daga Layout, Corporation Colony areas, that bore the brunt of heavy rains that occurred early on Saturday morning. The civic administration has pressed all its machinery and men to remove the silt from road and houses. Similarly, the road shoulder on Ambazari Road, near the overflow point, has been repaired and restored for traffic. The silt from every road in these area was removed by the evening.

District Collector Dr Vipin Itankar has appealed to citizens to be patient and reiterated that administration is there to extend all help possible. In case any citizen feels that their house is not surveyed or panchnama has not been done, they should promptly inform the office of Tehsildar, Santosh Khandere, at City Tehsil office in Civil Lines. During the visit of Municipal Commissioner Dr Abhijeet Chaudhari, Additional Municipal Commissioner Anchal Goyal, Assistant Commissioner Milind Meshram and others were present. Dr Chaudhari visited Ambazari Layout, Daga Layout, Corporation Colony, Samata Nagar, Shankar Nagar, Kumbhar Toli and other settlements and interacted with the citizens.
