Ahmedabad

A total of 21 bombs exploded across Ahmedabad. The attacks killed 56 people and injured more than 200 others. One of the striking features of the attack was that explosions also took place at hospitals where victims of the blasts were being treated.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has advised over 11,000 food outlets to stream live kitchen CCTV footage to customers following widespread hygiene violations. The crackdown aligns with interstate food safety raids and a fatal food poisoning incident in Gujarat.

The court rejected the defence argument that the ISIS ricin terror plot accused Syed Ahmed Mohiuddin did not know about the weapons.

The Gujarat High Court, in its detailed 2,223-page judgment on the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts, held that Hindus were the intended targets of the terror conspiracy, upheld the death penalty for 38 convicts as a "rarest of rare" case, and affirmed life imprisonment for 11 others.

The journey of Puri's Jagannath Rathyatra to Ahmedabad is rooted in centuries of shared faith. Seen as a manifestation of Lord Krishna, whose final relic floated from Gujarat to Odisha, Jagannath was embraced by local Vaishnav traditions.
