Dhule to get 50-bed AYUSH hospital
Nashik: Dhule MP Shobha Bachhav on Tuesday announced that a 50-bed AYUSH hospital will be established within the Dhule civil hospital premises, with a sanctioned amount of Rs15 crore. "I requested the AYUSH ministry to allocate a hospital in Dhule to serve the people, and accordingly, a 50-bed facility was approved," said Bachhav. She added that the district's civil surgeon recently finalized the construction site. The chosen location is a 2-acre plot near the civil hospital. Construction will begin after the demolition of existing dilapidated staff quarters. Bachhav highlighted the benefits of the new hospital, stating, "The hospital will be a boon for the people of Dhule district as they will have Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy treatments delivered alongside allopathy treatment." As part of promoting AYUSH treatment, the hospital will focus on treatments based on traditional Indian medicine, though surgeries and procedures based on modern medical practices are also provided to the patients based on the requirements. Diagnostic services will also be provided like any other regular hospital at the facility. According to Bachhav, people in rural areas generally look for household remedies, some of which may not be trustworthy. But with the AYUSH hospital in place, they will find it easier to accept treatment related to Ayurveda.

Congress stages protest against civic issues in Nashik
Nashik: MP Shobha Bachhav, along with other senior Congress functionaries in the city, staged a protest outside the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) along the Main Road area. The demonstration was primarily aimed at opposing the NMC's decision to remove slum dwellers from Shramiknagar, Ganjamal. Congress leaders pointed out that the slum, spread across 3,900 sq. mt, had been declared an official slum settlement by the state government and has existed since 1982. Despite this, the NMC had repeatedly issued notices to the residents, causing significant distress. "The slum has been in place for decades and was recognized by the state. Still, the NMC has been harassing its residents with continuous notices," the Congress leaders said. They demanded that the dwellers be provided homes under the Awas Yojana scheme at the same location. The protesters also raised concerns over the closure of municipal schools near the slum, saying it has made education inaccessible for the poor living in central parts of the city. "It is the government's responsibility to provide education to the underprivileged. However, municipal corporation-run schools in the vicinity have been shut down. These schools should be reopened at the earliest," they said. The Congress delegation criticized the condition of city roads, which have deteriorated after repeated digging for water and drainage lines. They called for an inquiry into the renovation works of Kalidas Kalamandir and Nehru Udyan, noting that once-popular public spaces are now on the verge of closure. They also highlighted a range of civic issues including water shortages, unchecked illegal constructions within the flood zone of the Godavari river, and the dilapidated condition of public toilets — many of which have not seen repairs in over two decades.
