Ahmedabad: MLA from Ellisbridge and City BJP Chief, Amit Popatlal Shah, has written to the Municipal Commissioner and the Collector, urging the removal of illegal Bangladeshi colonies in the Chandola Lake area. Shah supported his claims with photos and videos showing the ongoing construction of new settlements around the lake.

In his latest letter addressed to the Municipal Commissioner, Shah states, “I would like to inform you that I wrote to you on 07/02/2025 regarding the removal of illegal Bangladeshi settlements in Chandola Lake. I would also like to inform you that certain elements within AMC are currently preparing to establish new settlements by dumping garbage and filling the area. In this regard, I have sent a message along with photos and videos to the Collector.
