Internet users share mixed reactions
Several users agreed with the sentiment and described Ahmedabad as a safe and vibrant place even late at night.
One user wrote, "I have been to Ahmedabad so many times, found it to be very safe and chilled out place. I rarely drink so I love the vibe of people and families enjoying without getting drunk unlike in other cites where enjoyment is linked to drinking."
Another commented, "Ahemdabad is superb. City is awake entire night and so many good places to eat even at midnight."
A third user said, "This what happens when there is no alcoholics roaming free," suggesting that the absence of alcohol culture contributes to the calmer atmosphere.
Others pointed out that similar late night scenes can also be found in other Gujarat cities. One user wrote, "In Surat too, one can take a stroll or bike ride in the midnight and see such sights."
Some reactions were light hearted. One person commented, “See i knew you will like it.” However, not everyone shared the same opinion. A user offered a contrasting view, writing, "Had been there. It may seem 'buzzing' to some, but to me, the place seemed dull, dark, and unsafe."
