Why we say that›
Sabarmati riverfront expansion aims to be one of the world's longest, but current site shows litter at night.
The footage genuinely shows litter, debris and people at the Ahmedabad riverfront at night. The 'world's longest' claim is not accurate for the current riverfront. The contrast highlights real civic issues in a major public project.
Based on only a few sources, so read this as a first look, not the last word.
The riverfront project is phased. Current developed promenade is shorter than the full planned 34-38 km stretch to Gandhinagar.
