Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation demolished 67 houses in various areas of Ahmedabad. However, residents blamed that the officials did not give them any kind of notice and demolished their houses. Many of them also accuses that the officials have taken money to remove this encroachment.
However, when asked the officers said that the houses are removed under Town Planning Act scheme and constructions under road reservations are demolished.
Yet questions have arose as to why AMC demolished these houses during monsoons only, and the construction work of many houses started recently then why no action was taken then.

The law is openly broken at the dumping site of Pirana in Ahmedabad. No one except the officials of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Solid Waste Management Department.

When contacted the on duty sanitary inspectors he started making excuses but it was the supervisor who exposed the irresponsibility of the officers.
