Demolition drive at Sabarmati riverbank
Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is busy demolishing the huts on Sabarmati riverbanks in Ahmedabad. AMC had requested the slum dwellers to shift to the new houses which was opposed by them. Therefore AMC carried out the demolition drive to clear off the river banks.
High court (HC) had passed on orders to complete allotment of alternate houses to the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project at the same time of demolition and this affected the families staying there in a large scale.
Also now that HC has directed AMC to provide basic amenities to 1,112 families, who have already been allotted houses at different places in the city.
