Mirchi Hotel Chowk to be named Kothule-Patil Chowk
Nashik: Mirchi Hotel Chowk on Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar state highway in the city is set to be renamed as Kothule-Patil Chowk, following approval from NMC's general body. The decision comes approximately two and a half years after a fatal accident on Oct 8, 2022, which claimed 13 lives. A Mumbai-bound private tourist bus had collided with a truck at the intersection near the chowk. The bus caught fire, leading to the deaths. Nashik MP Rajabhau Waje had requested NMC to rename the chowk. Accordingly, NMC's public works department tabled the proposal at the general body meeting on Tuesday. Civic chief Manisha Khatri approved the proposal. Waje said the farmland in and around the chowk was owned by the Kothule-Patil families. Hence, there was a name-change demand from local residents. After the incident at the Mirchi Hotel Chowk in Oct 2022, NMC conducted a special drive for removing encroachment along the chowk on the state highway. Thereafter, the NMC administration also conducted a survey across the city and found around 22 black spots of accidents across the city.
