Rs.65-cr facelift for eastern Ahmedabad’s eyesore Khari Cut Canal
Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 28 August, 2010
The state irrigation department has undertaken the task of facelift of 20-km long open drain in eastern Ahmedabad, called Khari Cut Canal, between Naroda and Vatva into a beautiful water body at a cost of Rs.65-crore.
The canal had become an eyesore due to pollution over the last 15-20 years.
With Chief Minister Narendrabhai Modi himself taking a special interest in the project for a permanent solution to the problem, besides converting it into a corridor of entertainment and relaxation zone, it is proposed to be completed in 18-24 months, according to the department’s executive engineer J. K. Trivedi.
The new-look water body would have surfaced roads and ped-ways on either side of the canal with parapets, 8-km long canal lining, 15 project galleries, upgrade 40 bridges, 10 deck slab kiosks, eight landscaping, gardens, children playgrounds, 70 waste collection centres, 40 waterfalls and fountains, 1,500 decorative lampposts.
In phase-1, the 3-km Naroda to Pushpkunj stretch is proposed to be completed in four months at a cost of Rs.8-crore.
However, Mr. Trivedi said, the project’s biggest challenge is checking the pollution, for which the Irrigation Department has tied up Gujarat Pollution Control Board, even as Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation will plug all sorts of effluents pouring into the Khari Cut Canal in a year.

SUPERB!!
This man is out to prove a point…..everything is possible and we Indians need to come out of the mentality ‘ki kuch nahi ho sakta apne desh main’…..
i hope Maharastra govt takes a cue from this to clean the Bandra- Mahim creek….!!
Narendra Bhai is Narendra Bhai. Only request to all the reader that we don’t for get Narendra Bhai’s contribution to us and Gujarat. He is doing all the work. we just have to mark on KAMAL sign at the time of election. HE WILL HANDLE EVERYTHING for VIKAS (DEVELOPMENT)
I remebered Hira Ba’s word at the time of Narendra Bhai’s first SHAPATH ceremony “MY SON DEFINATELY DO VERY BEST FOR THE GUJARAT”
Jay Jay Garvi Gujarat… Jay Jay Swarnim Gujarat….
Narendra Bhai’s working style is same as Singapore style…… like this we have to do means do..

Hello all,
I visited Gujarat after 5 years and it seems there is not any much changes. I can still find cattle on the road, not in just number of 1 to 10 and not on just street road, but on the Janmarg (BRTS) too. This is really kind a shame on us and enough to prove that we are still seating with backward mindsets. Please improve basic things. You can create a mandatory helmet rule for 2 wheelers and at the same time we have animals on the road which increase the level of accidents on the road. Development in Gujarat is not yet in full fledge. Only question is that When do we complete RIVER FRONT????? I was so exited to see river front but frustrated with the work progress. Hope it will be done when I visit gujarat again. Hope Gujarat will be a number one in the development truely.
Harshad
IF AMDAVAD CAN COME CLOSE TO LOOKING LIKE SINGAPORE WITHOUT LOSING ITS OWN CHARACTER, IT WILL BE GREAT.NARENDRABHAI CAN DO MANY THINGS FOR GUJARAT & INDIA, PEOPLE OF GUJ & INDIA MUST ALWAYS BE WITH HIM.
WITH THIS TEAM OF MODIJI, GADKARIJI, JAITELYJI,SUSHMAJI & OTHERS, ALWAYS HELPED & ADVISED BY ADVANIJI, SEE WHERE BJP CAN TAKE INDIA TO, IT WILL BECOME “SWARNABHOOMI”, RAM RAJYA, BUT THIS REQUIRES UNSTINTED CO-OPERATION OF YOUNG & OLD INDIA. WE CAN ALL MAKE INDIA LAND OF HONEY BY 2020–2025.
IF MOST OF INDIA CAN BE MADE TO”THINK POSITIVELY RATHER THAN NEGATIVELY OR PESSIMISTICALLY “INDIA WOULD BE DIFFERENT. NO CONGRESS. NO CORRUPTION ,NO MEDIA, CAN STOP INDIA PROGRESSING, ALL GUJARATIS HELP GUJ & INDIA PROGRESS.
AGREE WITH ALL OF YOU THAT NARENDRA MODI IS DOING WELL BUT LOOK THIS KAHRI CANAL NOW AT THE TIME OF OPENING CEREMONY IT WAS EXCELLENT BUT NOW A DAYS THE POLLUTED WATER WITH A BAD SMELL HAS STARTED AGAIN AS EARLIER .
THE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD SHOULD KEEP A KEEN WATCH ON IT OTHERWISE THERE IS NO USE OF MAKING THIS ALL GOOD THINGS & INVESTING A HUGE PUBLICS AMOUNT BECAUSE IF BAD WATER FLOWS IT CAN DAMAGE THE HEALTH OF PEOPLE COMING THERE & NR BY RESIDENCE .
NO DOUBT IT IS VERY GOOD PROJECT TO DEVELOP KHARI CANAL BECAUSE NO ONE HAS EVEN THOUGHT OF IT BUT ATLAST I WOLD LIKE TO SAY IT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED & SPECIALLY WATER.
