Ahmedabad's Infrastructure Push Causes Chaos
Ahmedabad is building many new roads and bridges to make the city better.
But right now, it's causing big problems.
The roads are blocked, there's lots of dust, and traffic is very slow.
People who run small shops are losing money because fewer customers come.
Some bridges are being fixed because they weren't built well.
The city says these changes will help in the future, but right now, it's making life harder for many people.
They hope the work will finish soon so things can get better.
Infrastructure projects in Ahmedabad are causing traffic jams, dust, and business losses.
The Vadaj Junction project, costing Rs 127.92 crore, has led to road closures and diversions.
The Hatkeshwar Bridge, built at Rs 40 crore, is being demolished due to structural issues at a cost of Rs 4 crore.
The Panjrapol Flyover project, costing Rs 109.55 crore, is facing criticism for increased traffic and environmental concerns.
The AMC is also clearing illegal encroachments around Isanpur lake, affecting residents and businesses.
