Over 450 unauthorized layouts in South and West Nagpur have been regularized and fully developed by the Nagpur Improvement Trust (NIT), with basic amenities like roads, drainage, water pipelines, and streetlights already in place. Yet, shockingly, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has failed to take charge of their maintenance—leaving residents in uncertainty and neglect.
Despite NIT completing its part, including the handover of a list of 127 layouts, NMC has only lazily initiated a partial survey in the southern region. The civic body’s blatant indifference raises serious questions: Why hasn’t NMC acted promptly to take over the developed layouts? Why are citizens still being forced to live in areas where infrastructure risks deteriorating due to administrative apathy?
The entire transfer responsibility appears to have been dumped on NIT, while NMC remains conspicuously silent. If this standoff continues, even the regularized and developed layouts may soon slip back into disrepair.
Meanwhile, NIT has moved swiftly—approving layouts under Gunthewari, processing RLs for over 6,500 plots since February, and rejecting nearly 1,900 to ensure quality development. Yet many areas that have been inhabited for 20-25 years still suffer from a lack of even the most basic facilities.
The state government has stressed regularization and development, but in Nagpur, developed layouts remain in limbo. The ball is now firmly in NMC’s court—residents demand action, not excuses. If NMC doesn’t wake up soon, another infrastructure crisis is looming.
