Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation cancels permit and licences of HR Exeter-2 project

The HR Exeter-2 construction project, situated in Ambawadi, Ahmedabad, has been halted by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) in light of a tragic accident that led to the unfortunate demise of a young girl last week. Upon conducting a site inspection post-accident, AMC authorities found a glaring absence of basic safety protocols. Not only were workers operating without essential safety gear such as helmets, but there were also no provisions in place to ensure their children were kept at a safe distance from the perilous work zones.
In a decisive move reflecting the gravity of the negligence, the AMC has stripped engineer Chitrarth Parani, the designated clerk of works, and engineer Anjana Kumari Chaudhary, the supervisor of works on record (SOR), of their licences. The punitive measure cites their blatant disregard for the General Development Control Regulations (GDCR) and their failure to adhere to the development permit previously issued to them.
The spotlight now turns to developer Utsav Patel and structural engineer Bhargav D Patel. Both have been served notices by the AMC seeking an explanation as to why their professional licences should not be revoked in light of the evident safety breaches at the HR Exeter-2 site.
In conclusion, the incident at the HR Exeter-2 site underscores the critical importance of safety regulations in the construction sector. As authorities crack down on negligent professionals, the incident serves as a stark reminder to all stakeholders of their responsibility towards the safety and well-being of both their workers and the general public.
