The potholes have surfaced on this road from Bafna jewelry shop to Veer Savarkar swimming pool in Trimbak Road of the city.NMSCDCL was laying water pipelines on this stretch, and it was the responsibility of the smart city corporation to repair the road. However, no repairs have been carried out, and the road has been further damaged after heavy September showers.To date, the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) has written four letters to the NMSCDCL in a bid to draw their attention to this road. NMC officials said that the road, which falls under the purview of NMSCDCL, is in pathetic condition after it had been dug up to lay pipes.According to the officials, in their most recent letter to NMSCDCL, they have said that if the repairs are not done, the civic body will appoint a contractor to undertake the repairs, and NMSCDCL will have to foot the bill. Moreover, NMC has also given an ultimatum of seven days for the repairs.NMSCDCL CEO Sumant More admitted to receiving the letters from NMC and said that the repairs will be undertaken on a priority basis.
