Anti-social elements barged into Saraspur swimming pool by playing Gujarati songs; Despite informing the police, no action was taken

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has built small and big swimming pools for citizens in different parts of the city, but due to the inaction of the administration and police, these government properties now seem to be becoming a den of anti-social elements. A shocking video has gone viral on social media showing some local anti-social elements illegally bathing in a swimming pool run by the municipal corporation in the city's Saraspur area. In the video, around 10 to 15 youths can be seen forcibly entering the swimming pool, playing loud Gujarati songs, jumping into the pool and taking a bath. Anti-social elements come in by jumping walls or bullying security According to local sources, the swimming pool, run by the municipal corporation, is located near Potalia crossroads in Saraspur area. The swimming pool is officially closed at night as per the rules. However, some headstrong elements living in the vicinity enter the pool late at night by jumping the wall (coat) at the back of the swimming pool or by threatening and threatening the security guard through the main gate. Despite the deployment of security guards in this bathroom at night, the guards also become helpless as anti-social elements rush in with weapons, due to which many serious questions have been raised against the security system. Despite repeated representations, the administration is not serious about the matter What is shocking is that such incidents have taken place three to four times in the past in the Saraspur swimming pool. Repeated written and verbal representations have been made to the top officials of the bathroom department, but not a single official of the administration has bothered to look into this serious matter. Not only this, despite repeated incidents of security breaches, not a single CCTV camera has been installed in the swimming pool premises by the administration, which shows the gross negligence of the authorities. No complaint has been lodged so far The incident of illegal trespass was immediately reported to the local police and a police convoy reached the spot. However, instead of taking any strict action in the matter, the police were satisfied with just a general note. No official police complaint has been lodged in the matter so far by the AMC authorities. It is due to this lax policy of the administration and the police that the anti-social elements have been emboldened and they have once again carried out a violation of the law, which has caused a lot of anger among the local residents.
