From Cricket star Mithali Raj to flag off Adani Ahmedabad Marathon to Shahibaug's new Martyr's Memorial to the early closure at YMCA Club due to overcrowd and more, check out the latest updates of the city in this Ahmedabad News Roundup.

The highly anticipated Adani Ahmedabad Marathon, scheduled for November 26th, will be flagged off by the renowned cricketer Mithali Raj. This marks the commencement of the seventh edition of the annual marathon event, all set to kick off at the Riverfront Sports Park in Paldi, and conclude at the same location.

Participants can choose from several categories in Adani's #Run4OurSoldiers event, including the full marathon covering 42.195 kilometers, the half marathon spanning 21.097 kilometers, a 10-kilometer run, and a 5-kilometer run.

A poignant Memorial dedicated to the martyrs has been constructed within a circular garden at the newly established Police Commissioner's office in Shahibaug. This solemn monument features 32 plaques, each bearing the names of 674 valiant police personnel who sacrificed their lives in service to the nation.

To honor these heroes, statues, akin to those found in the Delhi Police Memorial, are also set to be installed at this site. The memorial is currently in the final stages of completion and will soon be open to the public following the inauguration of the new Police Commissioner's office.

The YMCA club had to bring the curtains down on its Garba festivities earlier than expected due to a significant turnout. Tulip School had reserved the YMCA club for today's Garba event. In response to the overwhelming demand for passes, the organizers increased the number of pass sellers.

Despite the efforts, it became necessary to conclude the Garba event to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants.

The AMC has made a significant stride towards modernizing its vehicle tax payment system. In an effort to streamline this process, vehicle dealers will now be responsible for facilitating tax payments online. This development ensures that vehicle dealers receive their tax payment receipts on the same day, eliminating the common delays associated with offline payments.

Under this new system, dealers are required to upload their invoices for tax payment. In cases where discrepancies are identified, appropriate action will be taken against the dealer, including the potential suspension of their account. This move is aimed at increasing efficiency and transparency in the vehicle tax payment process.
