The action was taken by the North-West Zone Solid Waste Management Department as part of intensive inspections targeting business establishments and street vendors across all wards. The drive covered vegetable vendors, paan stalls, tea stalls and other units, particularly those found littering, failing to keep dustbins on their premises, or using, selling, storing or manufacturing banned plastic.

Between September 28 and 29, the department inspected 149 units, issued notices to 119 establishments, confiscated 5 kg of plastic and collected fines totalling ₹1.02 lakh.

The five establishments sealed during the drive were Havmor Ice Cream on Sindhu Bhavan Road, MR Gadgets Mobile Communication, RBL Bank on Rajpath Rangoli Road, Nagpal Chhole Bhature in Vastrapur, and Shop 7 at Kushal Apartment in Lad Society, all in Bodakdev.

The AMC said inspections are being carried out daily, with special squads deployed during morning and evening hours to improve enforcement. Legal action is being taken against violators under the GPMC Act and Public Health Bye-laws.

The civic body said it would continue strict action against establishments that compromise public health and hygiene or create a nuisance by littering on public roads. DeshGujarat
