A day after the High Court of Gujarat came down on its Rajkot counterpart, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) sealed 52 units for flouting safety norms.

Seven teams from the AMC’s estate and fire departments inspected 244 properties including hospitals, coaching classes, and amusement centres across seven zones of the city on May 29. As a result, 11 game zones, two party plots, two guest houses, and a commercial property were sealed. Action was also taken against units which had a fire NOC but no working fire safety systems.

The inspectors found open wiring in a hospital in the Shivranjani area, which also lacked a fire NOC. 

Bopal game zone operators booked

In addition, a complaint was filed against five illegally operated amusement centres in the Bopal area.

These include:

Mihir Shah, operator of IndiKarting Ahmedabad - GoKarting Track.

Swapnil Dave and Jayvir Sanchaniya, operators of Caffeine and Octane go-karting track.

Tushar Shah, Margi Shah, Smit Panchal and Mihal Shah, who have been operating FunZone without a licence for the past five years. 

Vijay Patel, Vipul Rami, Nirav Patel, Navin Patel and Ronak Rami, who have been operating JoyBox illegally for the last 18 months.

Jaydeepsinh Zala, Hardik Rao, and Meghal Shah, who have been operating Fun Zone in Bopal’s TRP Mall illegally for two years.

These actions come after the Rajkot TRP game zone fire tragedy which claimed 28 lives on May 25.
