The office of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has instructed the Nashik Superintendent of Police to set up a police outpost near Ratangad Fort, for coordination with trekkers in case of emergency. 

The development comes after 17 trekkers from Mumbai were stuck there recently due to bad weather. They had no way of seeking help either. This group was rescued after one of the trekker’s family members alerted a government official that the trekkers were inaccessible for a long time.
