Sabarmati Riverfront to get a new walkway, water rides on Independence Day!

Here is some more news that will bring cheer to the faces of people of Ahmedabad!

On Wednesday, 15th August 2012 Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate to the people a walk way and rides at the Sabarmati Riverfront.

The walkway is 7km long on the western side and 6 km long on the eastern side.

The AMC has planned to launch ferry service between Vadaj Dadhichi Rushi over bridge to Vasna river bridge. A dream run will be held for runners on the riverfront walkway between Vallabh Sadan and Vasna Barrage and back. The AMC has hosted a grand musical event as well.

Giving a major impetus to tourism in Ahmedabad and particularly the Sabarmati River Front Project, 25 rides will be launched on 15th August at the auspicious hands of Shri Narendra Modi.

In the near future, an amphibious bus service that can be operated on land as well as water will be operational.

The Sabarmati River is the lifeline of Ahmedabad and has always been central to the identity of this booming city. Till a decade ago, however the Sabarmati River running through Ahmedabad resembled a stretch barren land where children played cricket and circuses were occasionally held.

The vision to re-develop the Sabarmati riverfront assumed importance ever since Shri Narendra Modi assumed office in 2001. Today, the Sabarmati Riverfront has become an important cultural landmark on the map of Ahmedabad. From shops, informal markets to hosting International Kite Festivals, its all happening on the banks of the Sabarmati!

Just a few months ago when KPMG declared the Sabarmati Riverfront Project in the list of ‘100 Most Innovative Projects’. KPMG hailed it as a project towards urban regeneration and environmental improvement, which will transform the river as a focal point of leisure and recreation. 

In addition the Sabarmati Riverfront has won several prestigious awards including the HUDCO National Award for innovative infrastructure development, the Prime Minister’s Award for the best concept and design of a public project and a National Safety Council of India, Safety Award (Prashansa Patra) in 2006. 

Now, with the coming of the walkways and rides, you are further assured of a wonderful treat the next time you decide to venture onto the banks of the Sabarmati…

  • Ramesh Desai August 27, 2012 Nehru was a visionary, sardar was an implementer but Narendra Modi is a dreamer, visualiser and implementer, all rolled into one. He is able to motivate his party workers, the bureaucracy, the industrialists, the businessmen and all the segments of even the lay public. His slogan ‘Development for all, Co-operation from all’ is not an empty slogan. it is actually happening. Sabarmati riverfront takes gujarat and India one step nearer to the developed world. I wish that Shri Modi sticks to Gujarat and continue being a role model for others to follow. Combination of the right kind of followers and a matching leadership alone can deliver such results. Taking Modi to the centre without the rest of the Indians becoming as positive as the enterprising gujaratis in thought, words as well as action will not yield the same results as in gujarat. Let other states find leaders who match their own temperament but follow Gujarat’s path to achieve similar results. I am sure, Modi would always be available as a consultant to all who wish for his services in that capacity.
  • Shekhar Kibe August 22, 2012 Narendra Bhai ko sadar pranam,

  • Ameitt Kherr August 17, 2012 I clearly remember the days when there was either no water or a stinking swamp in the entire riverbed. whenever the dam overflowed and the water was released people would flock to see the flowing river. Now the face of Ahmedabad is changing fast . River front is just a small part of it. All because and a result of good governance under leadership of Shri Modiji. Also due to the trust of people which will continue over the time.
  • Sumit Kushwaha August 17, 2012 Hello sir!
