Municipal commissioner reprimands Vigilance dept over chemical dumping in city drain

Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner expressed serious concerns over the incident of a tanker marked with the AMC (Amdavad Municipal Corporation) logo discharging chemical water into the municipal corporation’s mega drainage line.

However, the vigilance department tasked with the investigation is yet to make any progress regarding the incident, leading to a stern reprimand from the commissioner.

During a recent meeting with various officials and deputy municipal commissioners, the commissioner sought details on the investigation after the tanker was discovered during a routine night inspection the previous week.

An official from the southern zone reported that the tanker came from a factory. The commissioner was not satisfied with the answer and questioned why no further investigation had been done. Heurged the Vigilance Department to take the issue seriously.

Additionally, the Commissioner has issued directives to address other problems in the city, such as potholes at traffic junctions. 

He also emphasized the need for more stringent measures to combat mosquito-borne diseases in municipal and private properties, as well as construction sites.
