Close unauthorised party plots by July 15: AMC

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has given time till July 15 to unauthorised party plot owners to shut down operations. Failure to do so will result in sealing of the premises.

The plots in question were to face closure much earlier but the owners had pleaded that in view of the marriage season they be allowed to work for some more time. Now that the marriage season is over,they will have to close down by July 15,said Municipal Commissioner I P Gautam.

He said the closure operations would have been carried out earlier but the necessary police bandobast was not available in the wake of the impending Jagannath Rath Yatra.
