AMC seals 13 schools violating GRUDA-2022 norms

Ahmedabad: The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has sealed multiple educational units in the South West Zone for operating without the mandatory usage permission and for failing to regularize their construction under the Gujarat Regularization of Unauthorized Development Act, 2022 (GRUDA).

According to officials, notices had earlier been issued to these institutions, directing them to obtain usage permission as required by rules and to regularize their construction. However, despite repeated verbal instructions, none of the units submitted official documents or evidence showing compliance.
