NMRDA for 15-meter wide approach roads for develoment of properties in region

Nashik: Nashik Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (NMRDA) has now decided to permit approach roads with a width of not less than 15 metres for development of properties in the region. "Developers construct properties and move on, and then the people who live in those properties face problems due to narrow roads. In order to ensure proper development, we have decided on 15-metre norm," said NMRDA commissioner Manikrao Gursal. As per the Unified Development Control and Promotion Regulations 2020, properties are developed only on the basis of available width of road that helps dwellers access the nearest public way. The region is likely to see huge development during the forthcoming Simhastha Kumbhmela as well as overall development of places just outside Nashik Municipal Corporation limits. "We will have development of roads and properties considering the forthcoming Simhastha, besides handling movement of traffic from Ozar and even Shirdi international airports to and from Nashik city, all of which will be happen in NMRDA region spread across 275 villages in six talukas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

The current decision about the access roads is another step further," he said. Gursal said huge plots have been developed in neighbouring talukas of Nashik but their approach roads are very small, leading to problems for the residents as well as visitors. "Given the climatic conditions in Igatpuri, Nashik, and surrounding areas, there is demand for second homes, and so a large number of people — even the aged — visit these places. Traffic jams have now become regular issues on roads leading to chaotic conditions," said the officer. NMRDA has already announced widening of village roads from 15 to 18 metres, the other district roads (ODR) from 18 to 24 metres, and major district roads (MDR) from 24 to 30 metres.
