Residents of around 14 residential societies and over 100 shop owners have launched a protest against the road widening project on nearly 1.5 km stretch in Naranpura area of Ahmedabad.
On Monday, banners against the ruling BJP government were seen in Naranpura area.
The protestors claim that widening of the existing 80 feet road to 100 feet from Naranpuragam till Naranpura crossroad will not only reduce 10 feet of the residential and commercial area on either side of the road, but also results in cutting hundreds of trees.
