Nimz at Kuhi: MIDC approves for phase I

By

  • The HQ has sanctioned the identified land for acquisition and is waiting for approval of State’s industries ministry

By Dheeraj Fartode
Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), Head Quarter has given approval for land acquisition of 3816 acres land in Kuhi and Umrer tehsils for the proposed National Infrastructure Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ). It has submitted a proposal in this connection recently to the Industry Ministry.
MIDC, Nagpur region, has also geared up for land acquisition for the second phase and identified 2316 acres of land situated nearby phase one. Now, MIDC is waiting for no objection certificates (NOC) from forest, mining and town planning departments for the second phase.

When contacted, Dilip Gawade, Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MIDC HQ, Mumbai, confirmed the information and said “The HQ has sanctioned the identified land for acquisition and is waiting for approval of State’s industries ministry. As soon as the sanction will be given, MIDC will execute land acquisition for the project.”

Initially, it was planned to execute the project in only one phase but later MIDC rolled back the decision and planned for two phases as MIDC HQ rejected the proposal that included 1,700 acre irrigated land.

Regional Officer of MIDC, Vijay Bhakre said that right now, MIDC has identified 9 villages from Kuhi tehsil and one village from Umrer tehsil for second phase. The corporation will acquire 2316 acre land including 71 acre government’s land, he said. “MIDC has received NOC from Western Coalfields Ltd (WCL) and Environment Department and now it is waiting for approval from forest, mining and town planning departments,” he added.

NIMZ is an industrial zone spread over an area of around 6,000 acres. Such zones are being set up at 8 centers throughout the country, which are expected to boost economic growth as well manufacturing units. NIMZ is being projected as a major catalyst for the region’s growth. However, even as two such zones have been notified in the state, the government has agreed ‘in principle’ Kuhi project. As per the government’s rule, NIMZ project requires minimum 5,500 acres of land. When acquisition will begin for the said site, Maharashtra Government will notify to the Central which will talk with international companies for installation of industrial units at NIMZ.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
