News: Ahmedabad to be India's 2nd biggest metro

Call it the big bang effect. Soon, aapnu Amdavad will be second only to Delhi and way bigger than Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bangalore. For, size matters and metropolitan Ahmedabad is set to touch the magical 10,000 sq km mark. On the anvil is an Ahmedabad Metropolitan Region (AMR) plan that will stretch the city's limits up to as far as Viramgam, Mehsana, Prantij, Petlad, Umreth, Tarapur and Nalsarovar. A big leap, given that just two years ago Ahmedabad was just a 198 sq km city when it gobbled up another 300 sq km to emerge as a mega city spread over 498 sq km and housing 55 lakh people.
