Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured that the upcoming Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela will be a grand, divine, and unforgettable event that will captivate the world. Speaking during a review meeting at the District Collector’s Office, he emphasized that the state government is making all efforts to ensure that the Mela is held in a safe, clean, and spiritually uplifting environment.

Mr. Fadnavis also announced a 681 crore rupees development plan for Chaundi, the birthplace of Punyashlok Ahilyabai Holkar. Restoration of traditional ghats and improvement of facilities at Nashik and Trimbakeshwar are part of the state’s broader commitment.
