More than 50,000 residents across the Paldi ward face restricted water supply tomorrow as the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) rushes to fix a major leak in a primary trunk line near Gulbai Tekra crossroads. Simultaneously, civic health teams sealed three commercial establishments, including Vijay Sales in Memnagar, during an intensive crackdown on illegal plastic use and public littering.
50,000 Residents Affected as Emergency Repairs Begin
The Water Project Department of the AMC initiated urgent repair works on the 900 mm diameter trunk main line after identifying significant water wastage near the Gulbai Tekra intersection. Civic officials immediately turned off the pipeline valve at the crossroads to halt the leak and begin restoration efforts.
Due to the temporary shutdown, water supply will be severely restricted on July 23, 2026, across four major distribution stations in the Paldi ward:
- Scout Bhavan Water Distribution Station
- Fatehpura Water Distribution Station
- Gitabag Water Distribution Station
- Ellisbridge Water Distribution Station
The AMC confirmed that residents across these service areas will receive limited water based strictly on available reserves. Municipal authorities have urged citizens to use water judiciously and cooperate during the maintenance period.
AMC Seals Vijay Sales, Raj Color Studio in Plastic and Littering Crackdown
In a parallel civic enforcement action, the Solid Waste Management Department of the AMC launched an extensive drive targeting single-use plastic, paper cup usage, and public littering across the North-West Zone.
During the inspection of 98 commercial units, municipal teams sealed three major business setups:
- Vijay Sales (Memnagar): Sealed for maintaining unhygienic conditions and public littering.
- Raj Color Studio (Bopal Road): Sealed for utilizing banned plastic products.
- Global Engineering (Ghatlodia Ward): Sealed for littering in public areas.
Civic officers issued notices to 74 default units, seized 7 kilograms of banned plastic materials, and collected ₹68,000 in administrative fines during the operation.
