Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar First

धाराशिव–बीड–छत्रपती संभाजीनगर नवीन रेल्वेमार्गाच्या सर्वेक्षणास रेल्वे मंत्रालयाची मंजुरी; डीपीआर तयार करण्याची प्रक्रिया सुरू मराठवाड्याच्या रेल्वे पायाभूत सुविधांच्या विकासाच्या दृष्टीने एक महत्त्वपूर्ण पाऊल उचलण्यात आले आहे. धाराशिव–बीड–छत्रपती संभाजीनगर (सुमारे २४० कि.मी.) नवीन रेल्वेमार्गासाठी डीपीआर तयार करण्यासाठी आवश्यक सर्वेक्षणास रेल्वे मंत्रालयाने मंजुरी दिली असून प्रकल्प अहवाल बनवण्याचे काम सुरू करण्यात आले आहे. ही माहिती केंद्रीय रेल्वेमंत्री श्री. अश्विनी वैष्णव यांनी लोकसभेत लेखी उत्तराद्वारे दिली रेल्वे मंत्रालयाच्या माहितीनुसार, यानंतर सविस्तर प्रकल्प अहवाल तयार करण्यात येईल. त्यानंतर राज्य शासनाशी आवश्यक चर्चा, नीती आयोग, अर्थ मंत्रालय आणि इतर संबंधित संस्थांच्या मंजुरीनंतर प्रकल्पाच्या पुढील टप्प्यांवर निर्णय घेतला जाईल. रेल्वे प्रकल्पांना मंजुरी देण्याची प्रक्रिया ही विविध तांत्रिक, आर्थिक व प्रशासकीय टप्प्यांमधून पार पडणारी सातत्यपूर्ण प्रक्रिया असल्याचेही मंत्रालयाने स्पष्ट केले आहे. हा प्रस्तावित रेल्वेमार्ग केवळ तीन जिल्ह्यांना जोडणारा प्रकल्प नसून मराठवाड्याच्या भविष्यातील आर्थिक आणि औद्योगिक विकासासाठी महत्त्वाचा दुवा ठरू शकतो. छत्रपती संभाजीनगर हे राज्यातील वेगाने विकसित होणारे औद्योगिक, उत्पादन आणि लॉजिस्टिक्स केंद्र बनत असताना या रेल्वेमार्गामुळे बिडकीन औद्योगिक वसाहत रेल्वे मॅपवर येईल. याशिवाय, भविष्यात हा मार्ग उत्तर–दक्षिण रेल्वे कॉरिडॉरचा महत्त्वपूर्ण भाग बनण्याची क्षमता आहे. छत्रपती संभाजीनगरला दक्षिण महाराष्ट्र, कर्नाटक, तेलंगणा आणि पुढे दक्षिण भारताशी अधिक थेट रेल्वे जोडणी उपलब्ध होण्यास मदत होईल. त्यामुळे प्रवाशांसाठी कमी अंतराचे आणि पर्यायी रेल्वे मार्ग उपलब्ध होतील, तर मालवाहतुकीसाठीही अधिक कार्यक्षम रेल्वे नेटवर्क तयार होईल. विशेषतः ऑरिक, शेंद्रा-बिडकीन औद्योगिक क्षेत्र, ऑटोमोबाईल, ईव्ही, अभियांत्रिकी आणि कृषी प्रक्रिया उद्योगांना या मार्गाचा मोठा फायदा होऊ शकतो. कंटेनर, औद्योगिक कच्चा माल, तयार उत्पादने तसेच कृषी उत्पादनांची वाहतूक अधिक जलद, कमी खर्चात आणि कार्यक्षम पद्धतीने करता येईल. यामुळे लॉजिस्टिक्सचा खर्च कमी होईल. तसेच, या रेल्वेमार्गामुळे मराठवाड्यातील धार्मिक, ऐतिहासिक आणि पर्यटन स्थळांपर्यंत पोहोचणे अधिक सोयीचे होईल. शिक्षण, रोजगार, व्यापार आणि आरोग्य सेवांसाठी होणाऱ्या दैनंदिन प्रवासालाही मोठी मदत मिळेल. भविष्यात या मार्गाचे राष्ट्रीय रेल्वे नेटवर्कशी प्रभावी एकत्रीकरण झाल्यास तो उत्तर–दक्षिण मालवाहतूक आणि प्रवासी वाहतुकीसाठी एक महत्त्वाचा पर्यायी कॉरिडॉर म्हणून विकसित होऊ शकतो.

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar : The City of Hidden Wonders - part 1 #DiscoverCSN Bhadkal Darwaja: Tall and Imposing Rising tall in the historic core of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Bhadkal Darwaza stands as one of the city’s most imposing and iconic gateways. Built in 1612 AD by the visionary Malik Ambar, it commemorates his decisive victory over the Mughals. Constructed using basalt rock and lime, the gateway reflects remarkable engineering for its time. Its design incorporates the concept of a ribbed vault, an advanced structural technique rooted in Roman architecture and later refined in Gothic styles. This allowed the structure to be both strong and elegant, showcasing an early example of global architectural influence in the Deccan. The first floor houses a Naqarkhana, where ceremonial music once echoed during important occasions. The symmetrical arches and elevated platform not only enhance its visual appeal but also offer commanding views of the surrounding city. Distinctive elements like the inverted lotus motif, characteristic of Malik Ambar’s work, and intricately designed mehraabs within the structure add to its artistic richness. An inscription from the Nizam era further connects the monument to literary heritage through verses of court poet Nausrati. Beyond its architecture, Bhadkal Darwaza holds deep cultural relevance. It is central to the traditional ‘Bhadkal-Ki-Sawari’ during Moharram, a legacy carried forward since the Nizam period. More than just a gateway, Bhadkal Darwaza is a living witness to the city’s journey—from a fortified settlement to a thriving industrial and cultural hub.

Towards a Comprehensive Mobility Solution for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar As the city moves towards the metro, a Mass Rapid Transport System (MRTS) is important to address the broader ecosystem of urban mobility to ensure a truly integrated, efficient, and people-centric transport system. Current Mobility Challenges - Public transport remains limited, with around 90 buses operating on 32 routes, requiring expansion in both fleet and coverage. - 32,000+ autorickshaws operate without meter systems or designated stands, leading to unregulated fares and congestion. - Rapid growth in two-wheelers, with ownership exceeding one per person, reflects high dependence on private transport. - Minimal cycling infrastructure, despite the gro need for sustainable mobility. Key Infrastructure Gaps - Parking: Hardly 2-3 organized parking zones exist; the city needs at least 30 planned parking hubs. - Bus Terminals: Over 1500 buses operate daily, yet there is no structured terminal system for private operators. Towards a Comprehensive Mobility Solution for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar - Truck Terminals: Absence of dedicated spaces for goods vehicles impacts industrial logistics and urban traffic. - Encroachments & Road Use: Footpaths and junctions are heavily encroached, affecting pedestrian safety and traffic flow. Way Forward: Integrated Approach For MRTS to succeed, it must be supported by: 1.Strengthened city bus systems and feeder networks 2. Organized autorickshaw regulation and stands 3. Expansion of cycle tracks and pedestrian infrastructure 4. Development of multi-level parking and transport hubs 5. Dedicated truck terminals and freight corridors 6. Strict encroachment management and hawker policy implementation A truly sustainable mobility future for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar will not be achieved by one project alone—but through holistic planning, coordinated execution, and citizen-centric design. @rrm_0306 @dushyantnpatil #ChhatrapatiSambhajinagar #SustainableCities

Gudhi Padwa | Maharashtra’s First Victory Flag Gudhi Padwa is not merely the beginning of the Marathi New Year —( Krodhi Samvatsar, Shalivahan Shaka 1948) — it is a celebration deeply rooted in the history of Maharashtra. From the historic city of Paithan (ancient Pratishthan), the mighty Satavahana Empire marked a defining moment when Emperor Gautamiputra Satakarni defeated the Shakas, asserting self-rule and dignity. This victory laid the foundation of the Shalivahan Shaka. The Gudhi we raise today — the Brahma Dhvaj — is not just a tradition, but a timeless symbol of victory, self-respect, and resurgence. In many ways, Gudhi Padwa stands as Maharashtra’s first declaration of freedom — a reminder of our civilizational strength and identity. Let us celebrate not just a new year, but a proud history that defines us. गुढीपाडव्याच्या हार्दिक शुभेच्छा! नववर्षाभिनंदन! #GudhiPadwa #CSNFirst #MarathiNewYear #Paithan #ProudHeritage @rrm_0306 @Csnfirst @CSN_Updates @The_CSN_Index @CMOMaharashtra @PMOIndia @MahaDGIPR @maha_tourism
