AMC to trim BRTS-obstructing metro pillar in AkhbarnagarThe Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and Gujarat Metro Rail Corporation (GMRC) have been at odds over a P-355 pillar on the Vasna-Motera metro corridor that blocked one side of the BRTS lane in Akhbarnagar for almost a year. The blockage caused BRTS buses to take a detour, bypassing the Akhbanagar BRTS...

This issue stemmed from damage caused to civic utility lines during the metro rail construction in 2021. These included stormwater lines, drainage lines, and catchpits, some of which were diverted, particularly those in front of MLA Shailesh Parmar's residence. A total of 15 stormwater and drainage lines were repaired, including those in Thaltej village and between Naranpura and Sanghvi Crossings. Other areas affected by the metro construction include the 132 Foot Ring Road through Akhbarnagar, Subhash Bridge Circle, Sabarmati Powerhouse to Motera trijunction, and Motera village to Tapovan Circle. This incident highlights a lack of coordination between AMC and GMRC and the wastage of public funds.

Isme stormwater lines, drainage lines, aur catchpits shamil the, jinme se kuchh ko divert kiya gaya, khaas kar MLA Shailesh Parmar ke ghar ke samne wale. Total 15 stormwater and drainage lines ko repair kiya gaya, jinme Thaltej village aur Naranpura se Sanghvi Crossing tak ki lines bhi shamil hain. Metro construction se 132 Foot Ring Road through Akhbarnagar, Subhash Bridge Circle, Sabarmati Powerhouse se Motera trijunction, aur Motera village se Tapovan Circle tak ke areas bhi affected hue. Yeh incident AMC aur GMRC ke beech coordination ki kami aur public funds ke wastage ko highlight karta hai.
