NASHIK: The Nashik Municipal Corporation
(NMC) will be developing a website to provide detailed information to
tourists coming to the city for the forthcoming Kumbh Mela. The NMC is
collecting data at present.

The website will include information
about the city, accommodation, conveyance etc. This will be in addition
to the booklet that the NMC had published during the last Kumbh Mela. Chairman of NMC’s standing committee Uddhav Nimse
said that he had directed the public relations department to accumulate
the data for the website, keeping in mind influx of foreign tourists
during Kumbh Mela. “The list of hotels according to their ratings, basic
information about the city, its history, tourist spots, etc will be
included in the website. Right from how a tourist can reach Nashik after
alighting from the flight to all the description about Simhastha will
be mentioned,” said Nimse.

He said that the dates of the Kumbh Mela, the important days during that period, etc.”I have asked the PRO to compile the data and prepare a plan. It will
take another month after which we will send it to the government for
approval,” he added.

On asking if a booklet of all these
information would be published like it was during the last Simhastha
Kumbh Mela, he replied in the affirmative saying that the website would
basically benefit foreign tourists and pilgrims and also those in
different parts of the country.
