29
buildings to be demolished
The Ahmedabad Municipal
Corporation (AMC) has identified 29 buildings,
which have been damaged beyond repair and have to
be pulled down. In the AUDA areas though buildings
have been badly damaged and surveys are on, no
such decision has been taken as yet. A list of 131
unsafe buildings — from both AUDA and AMC areas
has also been sent to the State Government Deputy
Municipal Commissioner Vinay Vyasa said on
Wednesday that hydra crackers, bulldozers, silent
explosives, telescopic cranes crushers will be
used to pull down the 29 structures. He added that
applications and surveys are still continuing, and
number of buildings that will have to be
demolished is likely to increase.
The AMC
has decided to "temporarily" discontinue the
system of using silent explosives to pull down
buildings.
The AMC
and Army used them to bring down 15th August
Avenue and Amardeep Flats, but residents of the
areas, who are already panicky, opposed this
technique as it sent ripples through the area.
Teams of structural engineers and experts from
AUDA, CEPT and L D Engineering College today
visited a large number of buildings, photographing
and videographing them. Speaking about the other
structures, Vyas said they will be strengthened
constructing "sheer walls," reinforcement columns
and other supporting structures.
Meanwhile, a team of five structural
engineers from the Netherlands is expected to
arrive soon in the city to inspect buildings,
Mayor Himmatsinh Patel said.
