Gujarat: 300 Ahmedabad Homes Face Imminent Eviction Despite Court Stay

Gujarat 300 Ahmedabad Homes Face Imminent Eviction

Residents in the Randip Bakra Mandi area of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, are facing imminent eviction. Around 300 homes, primarily belonging to Muslim families, received notices from the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) on January 27th. These notices order residents to vacate their properties within ten days. The city plans to demolish the area to construct a new road.

However, the situation is complicated by a court order. The Gujarat High Court previously issued a stay, temporarily halting the demolition. Despite this legal intervention, the AMC continued to serve the **eviction notices**. This action has created confusion and anxiety among residents who believed the demolition was on hold.

The eviction notices have created immediate problems for the affected families. “Notices were served on January 27 giving the residents ten days to move out,” one resident said. This short timeframe makes it very difficult for families to find new housing and relocate their belongings. The sudden displacement threatens to disrupt their lives, impacting their livelihoods and children’s education.

This situation has raised concerns about fairness and equality. Some worry the demolition unfairly targets a minority community. The residents are now seeking legal help and appealing to authorities. They hope to protect their homes and secure a more just outcome. The future remains uncertain for these families as they struggle with the legal process and the urgent need for housing.
