215 PILs in HC against AMC, no visible change on ground

Updated: Aug 31st, 2024


Ahmedabad civic  officials have left city residents with no options but to resort to legal action to secure basic services. As many as 215 public interest litigations (PILs) have been filed against the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) in Gujarat High Court. Of these, 115 related to issues such as roads, drainage, and water supply. Despite repeated warnings from the High Court, there has been no noticeable improvement in the municipal administration’s performance.

The HC has frequently ordered the AMC to address problems such as poor road conditions, stray animals, and traffic congestion. However, citizens continue to struggle with these issues. Opposition leaders criticise the municipal administration for its ineffective management, which has led to a continued decline in basic services. Despite residents regularly paying taxes, the administration has failed to deliver adequate public amenities.
