The ashrams—Sant Shree Asaram Ashram, Bhartiya Seva Samaj, and Sadashiv Pragya Mandal—are expected to be relocated. A three-member committee, led by the Ahmedabad municipal commissioner, has begun the administrative process in accordance with the master plan, the report added.
Unnamed sources said the collector’s office will complete the proceedings as per law. Requests by the Sadashiv Pragya Mandal to retain their structures in their current locations might be accepted if they are willing to transfer other land parcels.
The master plan for the Sardar Patel Sports Enclave and Olympic Village is being prepared by Populous, an international consultant with assistance from Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA). The preliminary report has suggested 650 acres of land, among which 600 acres fall in Bhat, Motera, Koteshwar, and Sughad and 50 acres are on the Sabarmati Riverfront.
The master plan also includes acquisition of residential areas like Shivnagar and Vanzara Vaas near the stadium. Ahmedabad Collector’s office has been tasked with land acquisition, which was approved by a committee led by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC).
Land belonging to the Karai Police Academy is also under consideration for acquisition on which the government has planned to setup sports facilities.
The Sardar Patel Sports Enclave will be established on 280 acres around the Narendra Modi Stadium and 50 acres along the riverfront, while the Olympic Village will be set up on 240 acres in Bhat and Sughad.
Sources from AUDA said that landmarking around the earmarked areas has been complete in line with the master plan and the land is ready to be acquired.
