MIDC to utilise NMC-owned land at Sadhugram to construct exhibition centre

Nashik: Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) will set up a permanent exhibition centre at Sadhugram in Tapovan area of the city. The state industry minister, Uday Samant told reporters at a meeting with industrial associations in Nashik city on Friday, that the NMC owns the land at Sadhugram, which is used for one year during the Kumbh Mela but otherwise remains unused for the next 11 years. Hence, the exhibition centre will be developed at this location. Nashik is one of the four cities where the Kumbh Mela is held every 12 years. This infrastructure will serve as Sadhugram for the sadhus who will stay there during the Kumbh Mela. "Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) will provide the land where MIDC will develop the dome-like infrastructure. The MIDC will soon float the tender," said Samant. Manish Rawal, vice-president of the Nashik Industries & Manufacturers' Association (NIMA), who was present at the meeting, said that initially, the permanent exhibition centre is to be developed on 25 acres. "We have been demanding the state govt and NMC to set up a permanent exhibition centre for the industries in the city.
