Nashik Municipal Corporation, Sanjay Khandare, has assured a delegation
of Ambad industries and Manufacturers’ Association (AIMA) that a new
fire brigade station in Ambad industrial areas will be set up as soon as
the plot is allotted by the MIDC. There has been a strong demand by
the industries to have separate fire brigade station in Ambad MIDC
since the past few years. However, even though there has been a constant
follow-up with the MIDC, no progress has been seen in this regard. A
delegation of office-bearers of local industrial associations had also
recently met the deputy CEO of MIDC, Madhukar Raje Ardad.

allots a plot.””Some units in Ambad MIDC were gutted in fire during
the last one-and-a-half years due to delay in reaching fire tenders on
time. We wanted a separate fire station for Ambad as there are close to
1,500 units here,” Mali said. A delegation, led by AIMA president
