Ahmedabad's lakes are getting choked with construction debris, raising concerns about their ecological condition and floods during monsoon. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has rushed to allocate additional dumping sites for demolition waste. Despite designated facilities, illegal dumping continues in certain lakes, leading to a reduction in their capacity. The city's storm water drainage system is also in poor condition. The AMC's attempts to address the issue raise questions, as recent cleaning efforts seem futile. Read more about the ongoing problem of debris dumping in Ahmedabad's lakes and the challenges faced by the AMC in maintaining them.
If caution is not taken, a threat looms large over Amdavadis too. Heading to a similar pathway is the AMC, which has allotted a management consulting contract to a company blacklisted in 2022 over sub-par quality work.
