38% of 236 new cases on Friday were from western parts of Ahmedabad

Ahmedabad: The western parts of the city may have only one containment zone, Gulbai Tekra, but on Friday reported 38% of the city’s 236 fresh cases. The West, North West and South West Zones reported 90 fresh cases.

Of these 90 cases, 28 were from the North West (12) and South West Zones (16). The South West Zone’s cases were from Vejalpur (10), Sarkhej (2) and Bodakdev (4).

The Bodakdev cases were from Sanskar Apartments, Vidyanagar Flats, Kalp Vruksh Apartments and Sepal Residency, where a 73-year-old woman tested positive.

Areas in the North West Zone reporting 12 cases were Thaltej, Ghatlodia, Bodakdev, Ghatlodia and Gota. There were cases at Nildeep Apartments, Sunay Aparments, Nayandeep Apartments and Sarjan Towers.

There were 62 cases reported in the West Zone, in areas such as Naranpura, Navrangpura, Ranip, Nava Vadaj, Vasna and Paldi. Naranpura had 13 cases, Ranip seven and Sabarmati 22.

The majority of cases in Sabarmati were from a chawl. This has become a major problem as it is congested and had people living in close proximity with each other.

The western part of the city now has 986 active cases, with 595 in the Stadium, Naranpura, Naranpura, Paldi and Vasna areas. The North West and South West Zones have 121 and 275 active cases respectively.
