Khadir Bet area of ​​Kutch in Gujarat is witnessing a big change. Under the far-sighted vision of Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, a 22 kilometer long metalled road is being constructed from Ekla to Bambanka, cutting across the white desert and sea in this region.

Earlier the people of this area had to travel more than 150 kilometers to reach Bhachau taluka headquarters, but now this distance will be only 75 to 80 kilometers.

Local resident Hardeep Singh Jadeja said that there are 11 villages in Khadir extension. Earlier to go to Rapar or Bhachau one had to cover a distance of 180 kilometers. With the construction of this road, the distance has now reduced to 70 kilometers. This will save time in commuting and save fuel. This road will prove to be very useful.

On this road is the turtle-shaped historical Hanuman Bet of Kutch, where the ancient Raneshwar Hanuman temple is located. Not only this, this road passes near Asia’s largest flamingo breeding ground, famous by the name of Flamingo City. With the construction of this concrete road, while the devotees coming from far away places will be able to reach Raneshwar Hanuman Temple, tourists will also be able to see the migratory birds flamingos which come here in large numbers during the winter season.
