The Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has issued a notification under the Gujarat Slum Areas (Improvement, Clearance and Redevelopment) Act, 1973, declaring several areas within the city as slum areas. This decision was made due to the unsanitary conditions of these regions, which pose a danger to the health, safety, and morals of the inhabitants and their neighborhoods.
