In Ahmedabad’s Sarkhej ward, a total of 22 illegally constructed row houses and one commercial building in the Navi Fatehwadi area have been demolished.

The owners and occupants were instructed to voluntarily remove the structures by September 15, 2024.

The estate department of Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) of the South-West Zone initiated action to demolish a total of 51 illegal constructions, including 32 residential and 19 commercial buildings in the Navi Fatehwadi locality.

Among these, 17 residential row houses and 18 commercial buildings were demolished. A petition was filed by the owners and occupants of the land in survey number 9 in the Gujarat High Court on September 11.

The high court had granted a status quo order. However, on September 13, the court issued a directive, allowing the owners and occupants until September 15, 2024, to voluntarily remove the illegal constructions. As they failed to comply, the estate department proceeded with demolishing the unauthorised structures.
