2,000 daily complaints in Ahmedabad over lack of basic services
Updated: Oct 26th, 2024
In Ahmedabad, residents file around 2,000 complaints daily regarding basic amenities. Despite the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the ruling government promoting the city as one of the most livable, smart cities, the reality seems different.
Over the past 3.5 years, more than 22.40 lakh complaints related to basic services have been lodged with the AMC.
During a recent municipal board meeting, opposition leaders sharply criticised the persistent issues with essential services like water supply, drainage, and roads. They highlighted the disconnect between the government’s claims and the number of complaints from citizens about inadequate facilities.
From April 2021 to September 2024, more than 13 lakh complaints were specifically about water supply, drainage, and road conditions.
Additionally, there were 2,35,000 complaints about cleanliness and 2,74,000 regarding street lighting.
