Rajnagar Mill

Rajnagar mill, Ahmedabad, Gujarat is an abandoned mill since years which was open for public few months ago.

 

Ahmedabad was once called the ‘Manchester of the East’ due to the large number of textile mills in the city. Sadly, however, the ‘Manchester of the East’ fell into decline as the years went by and by the 1980s not only were the mills shut down but also lakhs of people lost their jobs! The entire industry was in disarray even as no remedial action was taken.
