AHMEDABAD — The Solid Waste Management Department of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has launched an intensive sanitation crackdown across the city's West Zone, sealing four prominent commercial outlets—including popular eateries Chaswala and Jay Bhavani Vadapav—for littering public spaces and flouting plastic bans. Over a three-day day-and-night inspection drive targeting 249 establishments, civic authorities penalized 166 units and collected ₹2.35 lakh in administrative fines.
High-Profile Outlets Sealed Across Ranip, Paldi, and Naranpura
Civic officials clamped down strictly on commercial vendors dumping waste on public roads and creating public nuisances under the GPMC Act and Public Health By-laws.
Among the sealed businesses were Burgonic and Chaswala in the Ranip area, Jay Bhavani Vadapav in Paldi, and Ashapuri Tea Stall located in Naranpura. AMC teams inspected both daytime operations and late-night commercial activity to ensure compliance with urban hygiene standards.
Crackdown Yields ₹2.35 Lakh in Fines, 12.5 kg Banned Plastic Seized
The three-day enforcement campaign targeted two primary violations—illegal dumping and the use of single-use plastic:
- Single-use plastic violations: AMC inspectors seized 12.5 kg of banned plastic carry bags and single-use packaging material, collecting ₹95,000 in administrative charges from offending shopkeepers.
- Public littering and nuisance: For dumping garbage onto public streets and failing to maintain clean surroundings, non-compliant units were fined a collective ₹1.40 lakh under municipal health regulations.
East Zone Launches 'Samvedna Abhiyan' for Underprivileged Families
While enforcement tightened in the West Zone, the East Zone Solid Waste Management team spearheaded a community welfare initiative under the 'Samvedna Abhiyan' banner at the RRR (MRF) Center near Gajanand Estate in Amraiwadi.
Civic workers collected donated items from local residents—including usable clothes, footwear, toys, books, stationery, and school bags—and distributed them directly to underprivileged families in the area.
