Ahmedabad: Following the fire incident on July 18, 2026, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has launched a special drive to inspect the fire safety compliance and legal status of properties across the city.

As part of the drive, a total of 25 properties were sealed on Tuesday during a joint operation carried out by the Estate Department and the Ahmedabad Fire and Emergency Services.
