नाशिक कुंभमेळा तयारीदरम्यान तपोवन भागात रस्ते विस्तारीकरण आणि पायाभूत सुविधा विकासासाठी १,८०० पेक्षा अधिक झाडे तोडण्याची प्रक्रिया सुरू आहे. वाढत्या नागरिक चिंता पाहता, कुंभमेळा प्रमुख व संरक्षक मंत्री गिरीश महाजन यांनी सार्वजनिकरित्या आश्वासन दिले आहे की प्रत्येक तोडलेल्या झाडाच्या बदल्यात १० नवीन झाडे लावली जातील. या वृक्षारोपण प्रक्रियेवर कुंभ विकास आराखड्याअंतर्गत निरीक्षण ठेवले जाणार आहे.

The Nashik district administration has proposed the development of Sadhugram to accommodate akhadas, sadhus, and associated religious groups for the upcoming 2026–28 Simhastha Kumbh Mela. According to official statements and media reports, Tapovan has been publicly announced as the proposed site for establishing Sadhugram, covering a large area earmarked for temporary Kumbh Mela infrastructure. As part of the proposal, authorities have initiated land surveys, tree-marking exercises, and public consultations to review environmental and civic concerns. Citizens, environmental groups, and local stakeholders have submitted objections and participated in hearings conducted by the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC). Government representatives, including Guardian Minister Girish Mahajan, have visited the site and addressed public queries regarding the scope and impact of the project. This commitment tracks the administrative process, official announcements, survey activities, public objections, environmental considerations, layout revisions, and future government decisions related to the development of Sadhugram.
