Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) began preparations for the upcoming rath yatra on June 27 in the city. The corporation declared 513 residential units in various areas of the central and northern zones dangerous. Orders were earlier given to vacate these hazardous buildings, but since they were not vacated, water and sewer connections of 190 units were cut off. Instructions were given to prevent crowds from gathering on the balconies of hazardous buildings. Additionally, warning stickers are to be placed on dangerous buildings along the route. The TP committee meeting on Tuesday ordered the verification of structural stability certificates for all hoardings to prevent accidents during the monsoon season. In May, unseasonal rains caused hoardings to fall at two locations, prompting orders for inspections. Additionally, notices were issued to 1,308 housing units in different parts of the city, declaring them dangerous and instructing urgent repairs.On Tuesday, a meeting of the Ekta Samiti (unity committee) was held at the main office of the civic body, attended by corporation officials, police officers, community leaders, and elected representatives. The committee discussed conducting the rath yatra in a simple manner in view of the recent plane crash in the city. However, the final decision will be taken by the temple trustees organising the event. The state govt and the temple trustees will announce the decision after further discussions, said an AMC official.
