Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah recently inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for development projects totaling Rs 330 crore by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. The event, graced by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, included the unveiling of Lord Ganesh’s idol and the distribution of land ownership certificates to residents of New Vanjar village.
One of the key highlights was the launch of the Western Trunk Main Line project, a crucial drainage initiative for the western and south-western parts of Ahmedabad. This project aims to address sewage overflow and wastewater management issues affecting around 15 lakh residents in various localities.
During the event, Minister Shah emphasized the significance of resolving long-standing issues, such as providing legal ownership of residential plots to families affected by the 1973 Sabarmati floods. He commended local officials for their efforts in addressing these challenges and highlighted the importance of compassionate and responsive governance in urban development.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urban development schemes like AMRUT have been instrumental in enhancing living conditions in cities. The implementation of large RCC pipelines at an estimated cost of nearly Rs 400 crore is set to improve drainage systems in areas like Gota, Chandlodia, Science City, and several others, offering a sustainable solution to drainage-related issues.
