Ahmedabad: The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has launched a special inspection drive to assess the structural safety of paying guest (PG) accommodations, hostels and similar residential facilities across the city as a preventive measure, a press release said.

On Tuesday, AMC teams from five zones inspected 55 units and carried out preliminary assessments of their structural stability. According to the civic body, none of the 55 structures was found to be in a prima facie dangerous condition.
