In a renewed effort to tackle the issue of illegal sewage discharge into the Sabarmati River, authorities in Ahmedabad will conduct a special drive to identify unauthorized connections to the Ahmedabad Mega Clean Association (MEGA) line. As part of this initiative, approximately 1,000 factories in areas like Vatwa, Narol, Odhav, and Naroda will be shut down for two days, on the 16th and 17th of August.
During this period, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) will jointly inspect the mega line for any illegal connections. Factories found with unauthorized connections will face closure and legal action.
