Farmers in Nashik have protested against the proposed 66-kilometre Ring Road project, citing concerns over land acquisition without proper consultation and demanding a change in the road's alignment and a fresh survey. They allege the project benefits certain builders and have faced repeated land acquisitions. In response, MLA Rahul Dhikale engaged with affected farmers and officials, including the District Collector and Divisional Commissioner, to address grievances and seek fair compensation, aiming to resolve conflicts and facilitate the project amid preparations for the 2027 Simhastha Kumbh Mela.
