MLA Urges Funds for Flood Control in Nashik
A leader named Devyani Pharande from Nashik wrote a letter to the Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.
She asked for money to fix problems caused by heavy rain.
The rain made water enter people's homes and shops.
She wants to build a wall to protect the river banks and improve the city's drainage system.
This is important because many people visit Nashik for a big festival called Simhastha Kumbh Mela, and the city needs to be ready for the rain during that time.
Heavy rainfall caused waterlogging in Nashik, entering homes and shops.
MLA Devyani Pharande submitted a memorandum to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
She demanded funds to construct a protective wall along the Nandini River and in the Kazi Gadhi area.
Pharande sought special funding to address the city's waterlogging issues permanently.
She also requested an inspection of flood-prone areas and the resolution of waterlogging for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
