Ahmedabad Heritage Committee Orders Audit of Restoration Approvals
Imagine a group that protects old and important buildings in Ahmedabad, a special city.
This group, called the HCC, has decided to double-check some decisions made earlier this year about fixing up old buildings.
They noticed some things didn't seem right in two meetings where the decisions were made.
A new smaller group will now look closely at these decisions to make sure everything was done correctly.
This is to keep the historic parts of Ahmedabad safe and sound for everyone to enjoy.
The HCC is like a protector of the city's history.
The Heritage Conservation Committee (HCC) is reviewing nearly 40 heritage restoration approvals.
The approvals were issued earlier this year by the previous committee.
Irregularities were flagged in two key meetings.
A subcommittee will review building permissions across five wards.
The review is led by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
