Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation demolishes 35 Illegal structures in Sarkhej Ward

Synopsis

Last week, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) demolished over 35 illegal structures in the Sarkhej Ward. Despite issuing notices under Section 260 of the Gujarat Provincial Municipal Corporation (GPMC) Act, 1949, and sealing the construction sites, developers did not comply. Consequently, the AMC proceeded with the demolition in coordination with Sarkhej police. The operation targeted unauthorized residential row houses and commercial units near Hid Park and Masjid-e-Abeda, resulting in the dismantling of 17 residential and 18 commercial units.

Last week Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation demolished more than 35 illegal structures across various locations within the Sarkhej ward. The operation focused on areas near Hid Park and Masjid-e-Abeda, where unauthorized residential row houses and commercial units were being constructed.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) had issued notices under Section 260 of the Gujarat Provincial Municipal Corporation (GPMC) Act, 1949, sealing the construction sites to prevent further progress. Since developers failed to voluntarily remove the illegal structures despite these orders, the AMC was compelled to take action. The demolition took place with the presence of Sarkhej police. In total, 17 residential units and 18 commercial units were dismantled.

The recent demolition operation by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation underscores the city's commitment to enforcing construction regulations and maintaining urban order. Despite prior notices and efforts to address illegal constructions voluntarily, the need for decisive action became clear. By removing 35 unauthorized structures, including both residential and commercial units, the AMC aims to deter future violations and ensure compliance with legal standards. This proactive approach highlights the ongoing efforts to preserve the integrity of urban development and uphold the rule of law within the community.
