In ranking of the smart city once again Nagpur smart and sustainable city development corporation limited has retained its position.

After the strong and healthy competition for four months, Nagpur Smart city obtained this position. With 364.47 points Nagpur topped in the chart while Ahmedabad was second with 362.34 points. With 2.13 points Nagpur was forward from Ahemdabad. Nagpur was adjudged the first position in the month of April after superseding Ahmedabad in the ranking chart.

It includes TenderSURE project and Home Sweet Home Project, Construction of 51kms road in Area Based Development. 3600 cameras have been installed under Nagpur safe and smart city project. These cameras are very helpful for Nagpur Police for controlling the city’s activity. The CCTVS are also useful in disaster management.

Construction of a building near Nagpur Airport will be costly.

Construction of the building near Nagpur Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport is going to be very expensive. There will be a large fee to survey the land. A-part from the NOC taken by the Indian Airport Authority in relation to the height, the accredited surveyor. Many questions remain’ unanswered as AAI officials are still not ready to say for how many new applications have been received, how many total charges have been collected and how much the surveyor has received till now. Now the responsibility of AAI is limited with the transfer of the airport. But AAI officials have been silent on revealing key points. But notices have been given already to three high-rise buildings built at the airport. But from a long time, no building is fallen till now.

AAI Nagpur has firstly granted the NOC to these buildings but now after the total survey of MIHAN India Limited (MIL), some of the NOC’s were withdrawal and cancelled. Officials have been totally silent on how many notices have been answered in these cases so far and which buildings have been taken to reduce the extra height. It’s clear from the official silence with no answers shows that the authorities are more involved in collecting only more revenue. In the 6 years, the minister of civil aviation was notified the new law entrusted the responsibility of controlling aeronautical objects in the company operating the airport under GR5(e). At an awareness
program, AAI and MIL have invited local public representatives and some councillors. As people are still coming to inquire about NOC this event seems to have failed. When contacted by the airport director of AAI one of the employees at the office replied that they were busy in the meeting. Many attempts to disclose this in the past have failed.

Gosikhurd dam pumps water for irrigation.

The Gosikhurd dam from many times has been the core of the irrigation scam. It has been
usually used saviour in many times of crisis. When most of the type dams from Vidarbha’s get dry and are not in the position to serve water to the specific area or for irrigation, Gosikhurd Dam has always been a helping hand. Now from last four days, Gosikhurd Dam has been releasing water for irrigation farmlands with a plan to continue further. This year Vidarbha The irrigation development corporation has planned to irrigate 70,000 hectares with Gosikhurd Dam. Due to the higher capacity of dam and large catchment area, all these plans successfully possible. But now even Goikhurd dam is itself left with just 2% water above the dead storage level. Every second 35 million cusecs are released from the dam. The water that has been released from the dam is coming is more from the inflow from the Waingangā river. But now the inflow has decreased due to poor rainfall in the area. But still, VIDC is in the hope to maintain the flow of water in the coming days. It is expected to rain in the next three to four days. There may also be a situation where dam gates will be opened to avoid flooding just because Gosikhurd has a large catchment area. The catchment area is large extending from Madhya Pradesh so it can save or bring the water from any part into the dam. This also increases the possibility of flooding even after one or two bouts of heavy rain. Now Gosikhurd Dam has left with only 15 million cubic meters of water in live storage.

This can maximally last for around one week. But there is enough water in storage too. This is the last level below the dam’s gate. Including dead storage the total storage is at 421 MCM. Due to the reason since there is no storage for drinking water it is possible to release water from Gosikhurd Dam. There has been a reservation of water in Bhandara Only. If in case there is substantial for drinking water then are strict instruction that irrigation has to be stooped totally when total water level reaches below 33% this is the case with Totladoh dam which provides water to the city. Here the level has touched to dead water storage area leading to the crisis of drinking water. According to the research 17 dams spread across Nagpur and Amravati division had a level below 33%. There has been no irrigation in Buldhana district.
