AMC Seals Ancient Bhadra Fort Doorway

AMC Seals Ancient Bhadra Fort Doorway

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) recently sealed an old doorway in the Bhadra Fort that connects to the Sabarmati River.

This doorway was used by people living in a nearby slum to access the river.

The AMC took this action because some homes were built too close to the sewage line, causing problems.

The sealing also helps with the development of a new heritage garden.

Some people, like heritage activist Munaf Ahmed, are upset because they think the doorway is part of the city's history and should be protected.

The AMC says they are working to fix the sewage issue but need to remove the illegal constructions first.
