AMC cracks down on illegal encroachment in Gulbai Tekra
In a crackdown on illegal encroachments on Friday, around 50 illegally built houses were demolished in the Gulbai Tekra area by the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
This action was taken following a Gujarat High Court order directing the removal of illegal encroachments from the city.
The estate department of AMC has been actively working to clear encroachments across affected areas in the city.
Earlier, AMC also carried out a demolition drive in the Jamalpur area, targeting illegal shops built on land owned by the Gujarat State Muslim Waqf Board near Kachni Masjid. Following directives from the Gujarat High Court, a team from the estate department, supported by police personnel, demolished 10 illegal shops in the area.
The issue came to light after allegations were raised that unauthorised shops had been constructed on land near Kachni Masjid, initially believed to belong to the Municipal School Board.
These demolition drives aim to free up public spaces and improve urban infrastructure, ensuring better traffic movement and accessibility in the city.
