The Metro-Express Link for Gandhinagar Ahmedabad (MEGA) is set to open for public use by March 2019, with a trial run inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on January 17, 2019.

Starting Sunday, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) will enforce waste segregation at the source, in line with Swachh Survekshan 2019 guidelines. Unsegregated waste will not be collected. The initiative, which failed two months after its launch on World Environment Day 2017, is now reinforced with 40,000 staff and NGO workers spreading awareness. AMC's Solid Waste Management director, Harshad Solanki, announced separate collections for sanitary napkins and diapers, with plans for incineration plants and vending machines selling pads for one rupee. However, residents like Rupali Vijh face challenges with the new system, citing irregular collection services.

Ten days after the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation implemented waste segregation at source, less segregated waste is being received from the walled areas of the city compared to other areas.

Despite this, the overall collection of dry waste in the city has improved, with daily collections increasing from 9 tonnes to 163 tonnes since the initiative began.
