AMC Files Police Complaint Over Illegal Occupation of EWS Houses
July 18, 2026
Ahmedabad: Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has launched action against the illegal occupation of government-built Economically Weaker Section (EWS) housing in the Madhavpura area, filing a police complaint against several encroachers after clearing the premises.
As per reports, Praful Patel, Estate TDO of AMC’s Central Zone, lodged a complaint at the Madhavpura police station against Mohan Datania, Amin Miyana, and others for allegedly illegally occupying government-owned houses in the EWS housing scheme located inside the Jupiter Mill compound.
The action was initiated after AMC received information that several vacant EWS houses had been occupied unlawfully. A joint team of AMC officials and police visited the site and found multiple government houses under illegal occupation.
Following the inspection, the civic body carried out an eviction drive and vacated the encroached houses. Subsequently, police registered a case against the alleged encroachers and began further investigation into the matter.
Officials said similar action had been taken earlier, with a complaint also being registered at the Satellite police station in connection with the illegal occupation of government housing. DeshGujarat
