Ahead of Holi, Ahmedabad’s Atal Bridge, Sabarmati Riverfront Gardens to be closed till 5 pm on March 4

Written by Nishant Bal The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has stated that it would close the Atal Bridge and sections of the Sabarmati Riverfront Gardens until 5 pm on March 4, citing routine measures to prevent littering as part of Holi. “We follow this practice every year during the Holi period. People often gather to play Holi, and end up littering, and it becomes difficult to control the situation,” an AMC officer said.
