In a stern move, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has sealed 3,400 properties within its jurisdiction due to non-payment of property taxes. The action is a part of the civic body's efforts to recover outstanding dues and ensure compliance with tax regulations.

The sealed properties are spread across various areas of Ahmedabad, and the measure underscores the AMC's commitment to enforcing financial discipline among property owners. The civic body has been actively pursuing property tax collections to fund essential civic services and infrastructure development.

Property owners are urged to clear their outstanding tax dues promptly to avoid further repercussions. The sealing of properties serves as a stark reminder to individuals and businesses about the importance of meeting their financial obligations to the local administration.

This development is expected to have ripple effects, prompting a reassessment of tax compliance strategies among property owners in Ahmedabad. The AMC's decisive action reflects the broader national trend of municipal bodies taking proactive steps to enhance revenue collection and ensure the efficient functioning of local governance. As the city grapples with the economic impact of the pandemic, such measures become crucial for sustaining municipal services and development initiatives.
