A two-wheeler rider skidded and fell on Makhmalabad Road in Nashik due to mud accumulation and potholes caused by monsoon rains. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, highlighting the hazardous condition of the road.

The Makhmalabad Road project has been pending for a long time. The municipal administration had previously announced that funds were sanctioned for its repair in preparation for the Kumbh Mela, but work remains incomplete.
Citizens have demanded immediate completion of road repairs. Motorists have been urged to drive cautiously in the area.
The Makhmalabad Road is a key arterial route in Nashik, which will host the upcoming Kumbh Mela in 2027. Inadequate road maintenance ahead of such a major event raises questions about civic preparedness. Pothole-related accidents are common in monsoon months across Indian cities, often leading to injuries and fatalities. The municipal corporation's failure to complete sanctioned repair work points to systemic delays in project execution. Citizens are now watching whether the viral video forces faster action. The next milestone will be the release of tenders or a public assurance from the Nashik Municipal Corporation.
