Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation takes action after tank maintenance failure
What happened
The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation initiated action against the contractor responsible for operations and maintenance after bones were discovered inside an underground water tank at the Asarwa pumping station. The remains were found when the tank was finally taken up for cleaning, despite the tank not having been cleaned for nearly two years, which is outside the regular six-month schedule. The civic body has also prepared 38 immersion ponds and arranged for 290 fire brigade personnel to assist with Ganesh idol immersion events in Ahmedabad.

Why it matters
The discovery and subsequent failure of the civic infrastructure led the AMC to initiate action against the contractor. This highlights operational failures in maintenance and exposes the civic body to potential liability regarding its facilities and service providers.
Protests are underway in Karimnagar regarding the availability of water needed for the idol immersion ceremonies.
