Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation reportedly sealed 11 construction sites in the city’s north-west zone over missing green safety nets, according to a 28 October 2026 report by Gujarat Samachar. The report also cites an October average AQI of 139, but does not identify the data source or calculation method; it does not establish that the named sites caused citywide pollution.
Why did AMC reportedly seal construction sites in Ahmedabad?
Gujarat Samachar says AMC sealed the sites after officials found that they lacked required green safety netting. The report places all 11 projects in the corporation’s north-west zone, across Thaltej, Gota, Bodakdev and Chandlodia. The underlying enforcement notice and the town-planning circular cited in the report were not available in the sources reviewed, so the incident details and the rule summary should be treated as reported rather than independently confirmed.

The projects named in the report are:
- Kaliram Hostel — Chandlodia
- The Signature — Gota
- Eklavya School — Chandlodia
- Saundarya Alina — Gota
- Kaala Montana — Thaltej
- Dev Ex — Bodakdev
- Aditya-2 — Thaltej
- Akshar Iwara — Gota
- Solo Sparsh — Thaltej
- Sun Setu Sky — Thaltej
- Nityam Glory — Gota
Gujarat Samachar also lists town-planning (TP) and final plot (FP) identifiers for the projects. The report says a town-planning circular dated 3 February 2023 required safety netting proportionate to building height. Because the circular text itself was not located, its precise scope, technical specifications and legal application cannot be established from the available evidence.
What does construction safety netting have to do with air pollution?
Netting can help contain dust and debris at a construction site, but the report’s account of missing nets does not show that these particular projects caused Ahmedabad’s reported AQI level. It describes an alleged compliance issue and gives no measurements linking emissions from the sites to citywide air quality.

The headline’s phrase “toxic air” is editorial framing, not a finding established by the article’s evidence. Gujarat Samachar reports an average AQI of 139 for October, but gives no monitoring stations, data source or averaging method. AMC’s 2019–20 document on air-quality reporting describes daily AQI announcements and the city’s monitoring and reporting system; it is historical context, not confirmation of the October 2026 figure.
What other enforcement actions did the report describe?
The report describes several actions alongside the 11 construction-site seals, but they are distinct from that list:

- Atithi Gokul: The Gota project was reportedly fined ₹25,000 for missing safeguards, absent safety netting and dumping materials on public roads.
Gujarat Samachar reports total penalties of ₹52,000 for construction and encroachment infractions. It does not provide receipts or an itemized reconciliation, so the total cannot be independently checked against the individual fines described.
What should contractors and site managers take from the report?
The practical takeaway is to confirm the applicable local requirements for each project rather than assume that the article’s brief description supplies the complete standard. The report connects the reported sealing action to missing green nets, but does not specify mesh, installation, containment or inspection requirements.
