Nashik Kumbh Mela 2027 Preparations on Track; CM Fadnavis Satisfied, Says NMC Commissioner

Nashik, Oct 12 (UNI) Preparations for the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 are progressing as planned, and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis is satisfied with the work underway, Nashik Municipal Corporation Commissioner Manisha Khatri said.
She dismissed reports suggesting that the Chief Minister was unhappy with the pace of preparations.
“Perhaps there has been some misunderstanding. No one is upset, and the work is progressing very well,” the Commissioner clarified in a statement.
Fadnavis, who visited Nashik on Sunday to attend the Sarpanch Parishad, inspected several Kumbh Mela development projects after the programme. He also reviewed works in Trimbakeshwar before concluding his tour.
During the inspection, the Chief Minister reviewed the quality of construction, the pace of implementation and adherence to technical standards. He directed officials to maintain quality, accelerate the work and ensure that projects are completed within their stipulated deadlines.
The Commissioner said the administration is committed to ensuring that all essential infrastructure and facilities are ready before the 2027 religious gathering. However, she clarified that not every development project needs to be completed before the flag-hoisting ceremony, as the deadlines for some projects extend into the Kumbh Mela period.
Citing the previous Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik, the official noted that several projects had been completed in phases, with some ghat-related works finished only two to three months before the event.
Meanwhile, speculation over the possible attendance of the President of India at the flag-hoisting ceremony has intensified. Although there had been considerable discussion about the President attending the ceremony, the latest indications suggest that the President may not be present. An official confirmation regarding the attendance of dignitaries is awaited.
The administration has reiterated its commitment to completing the essential infrastructure and facilities on schedule for the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027.
