In a decisive high-level meeting on Sunday, CM Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Nitin Gadkari issued strict orders to fast-track key infrastructure projects across Nagpur, demanding visible results in the immediate future.
Top on the agenda was the urgent construction of two Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs)—one at VNIT and another on PKV land—to curb pollution in the Nag River. Fadnavis urged adoption of the Dharavi-style compact STP model, while Gadkari directed TCS to submit its technical report immediately, stressing no further delays.
Raising alarm over low-pressure water supply in several zones, Gadkari instructed Nagpur Municipal Corporation to identify root causes and fix the issue without excuse, ensuring equitable access across the city.
Reviewing the city’s long-stalled CCTV network under the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS), officials confirmed that six teams are on-ground, with full functionality promised within two months.
Fadnavis also emphasized the creation of a new DPR (Detailed Project Report) tailored to Nagpur’s future growth. He warned departments like MSEDCL to complete road repairs immediately after digging, ensuring public convenience and inter-agency coordination.
The review included top officials like Guardian Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, MLAs Krishna Khopde and Pravin Datke, NIT Chairman Sanjay Meena, MahaMetro MD Shravan Hardikar, and representatives from NMC, NIT, MSEDCL, MSIDC, and NHAI.
With both state and central leadership demanding accountability and speed, Nagpur’s development drive is clearly moving from blueprint to action mode.
