Kharicut Canal Beautification Project - Page 2

Getting late, light fading...

The last bridge...there were many others, though I did'nt take pics of all of them.

gandhi.rushabh1992 · July 2nd, 2012, 06:32 PM

The thing to remember is that this is only 10% of the project. Much more is yet to come...

Though not as elegant as Kankaria or as huge in scale as Sabarmati (though double its length), this is a nice little cozy project...

Amazing work

and nice pics. They really doing their bit in the city

gandhi.rushabh1992 · July 2nd, 2012, 08:17 PM

Yeah...any member SSCI member in Ahmedabad staying near Naroda ?? If there are, they can provide regular updates, otherwise its too far for me...around 35 kms from my home. Can go there once in 2-3 months.

looks really good though the park and stuff look a bit rusty .. but still a great project. Nice to see Ahmedabad developing its public spaces.

Good start Rushabh

Idea is good but water in the canal is not provided regularly and waste from the surrounding is still thrown into canal. My relatives stays at Naroda so I often visit them and next time I will surely collect some pics from there. After some time of inauguration there used to be beautiful lightings, fountains and good maintenance but day by day its maintenance deteriorates.

i think that is the reason to start this project, to make the canal and it's surrounding clean and beautiful/// whats wrong in this???
narendra modi is doing nice job to make gujrat beautiful,, even considering smaller things to get done,,, BTW nice pics rushabh// and hope it will work out very nicely after completion..!!

sidney_jec · July 2nd, 2012, 09:56 PM

Rushabh not able to see the images.

gandhi.rushabh1992 · July 3rd, 2012, 04:10 AM

Wow...though we are very far from this stage. Seoul is the only major city in S.Korea, so they can afford to splurge so much.

I agree the canal development is not top-notch or cutting edge, but again I have seen bigger and filthier canals and rivulets in other big Indian cities.

This is a pretty decent effort from the AMC. The basic perception of the canal being a gutter-line has almost changed.

Good to see with Sabarmati Riverfront, Kankaria Lake front and Khari canal, Ahmedabad developing its water bodies. Other cities in India should follow suit.

India101 · July 3rd, 2012, 03:04 PM

Amazing updates Rushabh! Even the first completed part is great, there are plenty of other canals and waterways in the country that need a tidy up like this.

aks_sky · July 3rd, 2012, 03:17 PM

Rushabh bro u deserve an award

. I had no idea the rest of the canal had developed that way. I did pass through the south side and i saw that pedestrian bridge and I was thinking why oh why would people throw rubbish in there. I think all that area needs is some tall good fence like the ones near the garden. Good work man.

p.s post 1 pic in the a'bad citiscapes thread from this!

aks_sky · July 3rd, 2012, 03:22 PM

Oh and CE79 i will be waiting for the day the canal looks like that.

gandhi.rushabh1992 · July 3rd, 2012, 03:25 PM

Thanks all of you, hope you enjoyed the thread so far...

@aks :- def a good idea, as it is the cityscape thread is starved of updates...

It looks like they havent been maintaining the bridge like CE said. Are the fountains still there?

gandhi.rushabh1992 · July 3rd, 2012, 04:20 PM

I think the fountain is still there, but was not spouting water.

Def, they need to maintain the bridges...

Another thing to consider is that most of the project (unlike Kankaria lake and riverfront) lies in heavily industrialised areas. So the type of people residing there are lower-middle class and poor migrants. So it will be a real challenge for the AMC to maintain the canal.

I am sure it will be a challenge for the AMC but it shouldnt matter who lives there. After all everyone payes their tax and if AMC develops something and spends crores and then doesnt look after it, then what is the point.
