AHMEDABAD: The demolition activity to widen the disputed 900m road connecting Jhansi Ki Rani junction to former chief minister Chimanbhai Patel’s bungalow in Ambawadi ward continued on Sunday.
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) demolished a school, nine residences and 21 commercial establishments. The disputed 18m-wide road had been approved for the town planning scheme 21 in Ambawadi’s green belt zone in October 2017. However, in 2019, the residents of Gajraben ni Chali objected to the road widening project and approached Gujarat high court, which immediately imposed a stay on the demolition activities.
