VIKAS CHALU CHHE – by Prachee Bajania – 15 Mins

Kankaria is the largest public lake in the city of Ahmedabad. It always found many loyal plebeian visitors who sought refuge in its peaceful cool environs, All of this was brought to a halt when the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation launched its Kankaria Lake Front Development project. Besides cleaning and the beautification of the lake, this project brought with it a gate, which only allowed those in who could pay the 10 rupees entry fee. Fancy expensive stalls replaced the erstwhile affordable street hawkers.
