Gates at Holkar Bridge to be operational by June-end
Nashik: The final work of installing pneumatic gates under the Holkar Bridge has begun, and it maybe commissioned by the end of June, said officials from Nashik smart city corporation "Work on installing 19 gates is in final stage and maybe done in June," said chief executive officer of Nashik Municipal Smart City Development Corporation Limited, Sumanta More. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now There is a weir under the Holkar Bridge in Nashik city, and the only way water can get across is over the top. Since there is no other way, there is huge sedimentation in the area. Sometimes, the stagnant water gives rise to water hyacinths and many other issues. "The gates will prevent the build-up of pressure on the backside of this weir during the time of floods. At the time, when there are heavy rains upstream, the gates will be opened, allowing more water to flow through in lesser time, ensuring people's safety," said More. Another benefit of this system is that the soil that has gathered or silted in the area will also be cleared slowly and surely, thus taking care of the cleanliness. The work of installation will cost Rs 22 crore. The order for the installation of gates was given before the COVID pandemic, but due to shutdowns the work got delayed, he added.

Nashik city & Trimbakaeshwar to get 100crore optical fibre network
Nashik: The city and the Trimbakeshwar town are set to get an optical fibre cable (OFC) network to boost digital security and connectivity ahead of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. According to Nashik Municipal Smart City Development Corporation Limited (NMSCDCL), a total of 350km of lines will be laid in Nashik city (300km) and Trimbakeshwar town (50km) to help the authorities maintain seamless network during the Kumbh Mela. The project, estimated to cost Rs 100 crore, will be funded under the Kumbh Mela funds. An official said the OFC network would connect key facilities like offices, police stations and hospitals, integrating closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras through command centres. This would enable authorities to implement IoT-based safety projects and sensors to ensure security and crowd management during the Kumbh Mela, the official said. NMSCDCL has issued a request for proposal for laying the OFC lines, including their installation, testing, commissioning, operations and maintenance. "We expect the tender process to be completed by May-end. The project is expected to be completed within 15 months after the work order is allotted to the agency concerned," NMSCDCL CEO Sumant More said.

"With the capability to handle high bandwidth applications with low latency, the network forms the pivot for information and communication technology (ICT)-based Smart City interventions in Nashik city and Trimbakeshwar town," More added. At least 1,300 CCTVs have already been installed in Nashik city, while another 3,500 are to be installed in view of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. "These will be connected through the OFC lines and go online through the command and controlling centres and emergency operations centre," More said. Apart from the OFC lines, cable ducts were also to be created, which would be provided to the various authorities or organisations responsible for utility services to avoid digging of roads, More said. The OFC network would also help the Nashik Municipal Corporation even after the Kumbh Mela, he added.
