Potholes in Nashik: Shiv Sena UBT Warns of Protest Over Road Conditions

The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) Party and Satkarya Foundation have demanded urgent action to fill potholes on roads in Ward No. 24 of Nashik. They warned that if the work is not started immediately, they will launch a violent protest. A formal statement was submitted to the Municipal Additional Commissioner on Tuesday, August 27.

Several areas, including Govindnagar, Karmayoginagar, Tidkenagar, Old CIDCO, Kalika Park, Untwadi, Mangalmurthynagar, Jagtapnagar, Bajiraonagar, Sadgurunagar, Sadashivnagar, Baddenagar, Pangre Mala, Khode Mala, Kashikonagar, Bele Colony, Krishnaban Colony, Bhujbal Farm Area, and Khande Mala, have been severely affected by numerous potholes.
