2025-01-03

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's (AMC) solid waste management division imposed penalties amounting to Rs 2 million on four companies on Tuesday for illegally dumping construction debris on the road in the Gota area. The companies—Virasat Readymix, Krushnam Concrete, Triya Infra, and Krushnam Concrete—were each fined Rs 0.5 million.

The concrete mixer vehicles of these companies had left debris on the newly constructed road section connecting Nilgiri Circle to SP Ring Road in Gota. After footage of the road being polluted by these vehicles surfaced on social media, the authorities launched an inquiry and subsequently penalised the companies.

Additionally, the east zone property tax department sealed 245 properties belonging to property tax defaulters and issued auction notices for 10 properties that were in default. The western area authorities also sealed 10 establishments for violating public littering regulations.
