Dani clueless about number of food carts in Ahmedabad

AHMEDABAD: The chairman of Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s town planning and estate management committee, which decided to remove non-vegetarian food carts from public view beginning Tuesday, is clueless about the number of food carts operating in the city, whether theses carts are legal or illegal or if they are selling vegetarian or non-vegetarian food.
On Monday, AMC’s estate and town planning committee decided to launch an extensive drive to remove all carts selling non-vegetarian food from public roads. The AMC decision comes in the wake of Rajkot and Vadodara mayors announcing similar decisions a few days ago.
“All non-vegetarian food carts will be removed from all public roads, those operating near schools and colleges, religious places, marriage halls and community halls starting from November 16 Tuesday,” Devang Dani, the chairman of AMC’s town planning and estate management committee. When asked how many illegal or legal, non-vegetarian or vegetarian food carts are operating on the roads he did not have any answer. “We will conduct a survey,” he said.
