Nashik, Dec 15
Panchavati, which is the centre of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, is a locality with a mixed population of general people, workers, and government employees. Some newly developed colonies in Panchavati are in the rural areas, close to farms and elite settlements. Panchvati Division of the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) consists of six wards, namely, Ward No 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. The locality is known as a religious place, with elite colonies, slums, and rural areas. Panchavati Division includes MERI, Mhasrul, Nandur, Adgaon, Peth Road, Dindori Road, Hirawadi, Ramwadi, and Phule Nagar, the largest slum in North Maharashtra. The Goda ghat and Ramkund have religious significance and fall under the Panchavati division. Although urban settlement is growing rapidly in the Panchavati division, the manpower in the Panchvati Divisional Office of the NMC is insufficient in proportion to the population.

Panchavati Divisional Office has insufficient manpower, however, planning is done to solve the problems faced immediately. After receiving complaints regarding civil problems, concerned officers and employees of that department take immediate notice and try to redress the complaints.
