The joint operation was carried out by the Estate Department of the AMC’s North-West Zone and the ‘M’ Division Traffic Department.
15 vehicles locked
During the drive, civic officials targeted vehicles that were parked along the road and being used for roadside vending.
A total of 15 vehicles were locked, while the civic authorities collected ₹23,500 in administrative fines.
Teams also seized 13 miscellaneous items that were allegedly occupying public space and creating obstructions for motorists.
Officials face alleged resistance
During the operation, AMC officials also reportedly faced resistance from some individuals.
According to the civic body, some people objected to the action against vehicles parked on the road and allegedly behaved inappropriately with AMC personnel while attempting to obstruct them from carrying out their duties.
Officials continued the enforcement action in accordance with the rules.
More night drives planned
The AMC said the drive was part of its ongoing efforts to clear illegal encroachments from public roads and improve traffic movement.
The civic body warned that action would be taken against those found blocking public roads, disrupting traffic or interfering with officials performing their duties.
AMC officials added that similar intensive night-time drives will continue on Sindhubhavan Road and other parts of Ahmedabad to curb roadside encroachments and ensure smoother traffic flow.
