Ahmedabad: A row erupted after CCTV footage of a sanitation worker allegedly dumping rubbish outside a paan shop on Judges Bungalow Road in the Bodakdev area of the city went viral on social media on Monday. While the officials of the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) stated that they had sealed the paan shop on Sunday for littering public space, the paan shop owner alleged that the sanitation worker acted on instructions from civic officials and dumped the garbage in front of his shop. The civic officials refuted the allegations made by the paan shop owner and stated that waste was often dumped in front of the paan parlour and they cleaned the area regularly. They further accused the shop owner of breaking the AMC seal and violating the law. The viral CCTV footage showed a sanitation worker dumping waste in front of the paan shop. As the controversy intensified, AMC officials defended their worker, but the incident fuelled allegations that the AMC seals units even in the absence of garbage. The paan shop owner has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter.
