Shift 7,000 slum dwellers to flats/plots:Gujarat HC asks AMC

The Gujarat High Court today ordered Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation to go ahead with its ambitious Sabarmati Riverfront project only after allotment of flat with water and power connection to slum dwellers who are settled at the Sabarmati Riverfront project site before 2007. The court also ordered to allot plots to those slum dwellers who are settled on the riverfront site after 2007 and still living there. The High Court has strictly asked Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation not to proceed demolition activity for the project before shifting about 7,000 slum dwellers to flats/ plot. More details on this are awaited.
