r/ahmedabad

Visited Ahmedabad civil hospital few months ago for braces but the intern there said they've to do surgery for filling the gap in my teeths, braces alone won't help. Cannot trust government hospitals for surgeries and does anyone here know who has done sort of surgeries on them or knows any experienced dentists

I recently drove on the Ahmedabad dholera Expressway expecting a smooth and fast journey. Instead, every time I tried to cross 100 kilometres per hour, another bumpy section or patch appeared and told me to slow down. My car was dancing without any music.

I googled according to official National Highways Authority of India figures, this 109.09 kilometre expressway is divided into four construction packages and has an overall cost of 4,929.14 crore. The project also used 11.5 lakh tonnes of municipal waste in its embankment. That works out to roughly 45 crore per kilometre. I understand that this cost includes bridges, interchanges and other infrastructure, but surely a smooth road surface should also be included.

development deserves appreciation, but public money also deserves accountability. a big budget and an expressway signboard do not automatically mean quality.

People who have travelled on it recently, was your journey smooth, or did you also receive the free Gujarat road massage???? Correct me if I am wrong.

I was returning from a late night coffee run with my dad on scooter and just saw a creta with no numberplate deliberately hit a bike. There was 1 more biker ahead of me, we tried to follow but he ran away. (Honestly i was shit scared and didn’t even give full throttle, i had seen him hit another biker). the creta co-driver was waving a police placard from the window just before hitting the biker. I followed to some distance then cane bake to help the fallen biker thinking he must be injured but he was not there, there was no one else around as well since it was close go 1am.

this just makes me think what safety do we have even in ahmedabad, the govt has just left us to fend for ourselves. What do we get after paying such high taxes? poor air? Get an air purifier, poor water? Get a water purifier, poor roada? Drive slow, get an suv, don’t travel. and now poor safety, so what do we do?

i know road rage has been getting worse everywhere so this is not really about ahmedabad only, but this is the first time i saw something like this in years of living in ahmedabad and honestly it shook me to the core. Not sure how to get over this feeling of being so weak, no system to support us.

Any places for good breakfast especially omelet, paratha.
