The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has initiated the process of widening the road from Sarangpur Circle to the DCP Zone-3 office from 18 metres to 30 metres, with around 17 properties falling within the proposed road line. The plan aims to improve connectivity to Kalupur railway station, which is undergoing redevelopment.
The civic body has issued a public notice under Section 210 of the Gujarat Provincial Municipal Corporations (GPMC) Act, proposing to incorporate around 2,965 square metres of land into the road network. The notice invites objections and suggestions from the public before further action is taken.
17 Properties Likely to Be Affected
The proposed widening will increase the road’s width by 12 metres to improve traffic capacity and ease the movement of vehicles travelling to and from the railway station. Around 17 properties fall within the proposed road line, and the AMC will follow the prescribed legal process to take the plan forward.
The public notice seeks feedback from affected property owners and other members of the public on the proposed alignment. Further action will be taken after the notice process is completed.
The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is redeveloping Kalupur railway station with modern facilities. Following redevelopment, the station is expected to handle around 3.12 lakh passengers daily, prompting plans to improve road access and facilitate smoother entry and exit for vehicles.
The widening of the Sarangpur Circle–DCP Zone-3 office stretch is intended to support the anticipated passenger movement by expanding the available road space around the station.
AMC Moves to Reclaim Shops Towards Rozy Cinema
Separately, the AMC has started the process of reclaiming shop spaces allocated on a rental or permit basis along the road from Sarangpur Circle towards Rozy Cinema. The corporation has issued notices directing the concerned shop occupants to vacate the premises and hand them back to the civic body.
The road-widening proposal remains subject to the statutory process, with objections and suggestions invited through the public notice issued under Section 210 of the GPMC Act.
