Hi Aveek,

As per my knowledge, Gorakhpur City Development Plan (CDP) 2021, projects usage of over 50 per cent of the total land for residential purposes which also includes parks and open spaces. In Nashik, experts in NMC are yet to take concrete steps in this direction. The space allocation for public parks and amusement areas is still under consideration.

@ Aveek,

Similarly, Gorakhpur and Nashik both have slum settlements and corporations are planning to provide alternate housing to them. While on one hand, the age old method of more housing settlements are in the pipeline in Nashik, Gorakhpur is addressing this issue by providing better amenities and legalizing unauthorized colonies.

Hi Guys,

According to me, Gorakhpur city used to have about 10-12 hours of power outages every day. As a result, diesel generators were the only alternative source of energy. Although, the problem has not been solved completely but several areas have been introduced to solar power technology. Today, one can see innumerable solar panel installations on the rooftops of houses and also several government buildings, providing relief from unusually long power cuts.

Hi Aveek,
According to me, NMC has not yet implemented any plan, sources connected to the city development plan are also looking at promoting the usage of alternative energy especially solar energy and get off the grid. Since the plan is still in the developmental stage, we are strongly considering providing incentives for usage of renewable energy sources. This would also make our city more liveable and sustainable for the next 20 years.

Hi Mr Aveek Paul,
Gorakhpur being a flood-prone city of East Uttar Pradesh faced water-logging, sewage and drainage issues in the past. As per the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network report of 2009, only 22 per cent of the total area was provided with underground sewer network with a total length of about 55km sewer lines.

@ Aveek,

To address this, city planners and policy makers placed increasing emphasis on developing a sustainable and long-lasting solution. This included construction and repairing of drains through community participation, with local residents contributing in cash or kind. Around 700 people took part in improving the drainage system, providing sand, cement or manual labor and cash.

@ Mr Paul,

Though Nashik does not face severe sewerage issues, about 30 per cent of the city still does not have access to these facilities. Hence, to improve its reach the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) can undertake technical improvements as well as community reviews to solve the sewerage issue and improve waste water collection.
