AHMEDABAD: Beware, residents of west Ahmedabad, especially those living in Bodakdev, Jodhpur, Thaltej, SG Highway and Sindhu Bhavan Road.
There has been a steep rise in Covid cases recently, forcing civic officials to check party plots, community halls and clubs on S G Highway to ensure that guests and hosts at weddings and family get-togethers are following Covid safety protocols.
AMC officials had to issue warnings at two places after spotting guests without masks and violating safe distancing rules.
“We have also informed the local police that in case an NRG or anyone who is supposed to be in quarantine for seven days is found attending a function then s/he should be booked under the epidemic diseases act,” added the AMC official.
A senior civic health official revealed that there were 108 active cases in the city, of which 67 were reported from the western part. Each of the AMC health flying squads have been handed a list of quarantined individuals, most of whom are in the west especially Jodhpur, Thaltej and Bodakdev, officials said.
At a few locations, the AMC also installed a vaccination camp to ensure that guests take their second dose. “Nearly 80% of 25 new Covid cases registered in the city on Tuesday were from south-west, north-west and west zones,” said the AMC official. He added, “We are also taking this opportunity to vaccinate those who did not bother to take their second vaccine dose.” Municipal health official claimed they visited party plots in Bodakdev, Jodhpur, Thaltej, SG Highway and on Sindhu Bhavan Road twice since Monday evening.
