As a Kutchi person, I like to Congratulate and Thanks to People of Gujarat to choose Modi as CM.
I and my dear fellow Gujju feel the Effort made by Him after a Killer Earthquake. We love u Mr. Modi.
For all Modibasher , eat this%u2026%u2026.
When the killer quake measuring 6.9 on the Richter scale hit Gujarat, it left 15,000 people dead in the state. Kutch's toll was the grimmest at over 10,000. The temblor destroyed 90 per cent of Bhuj, and ruined lives in the towns of Bhachau, Anjar, Gandhidham and Rapar. In all, more than half a million lost their homes and over 150,000 people were injured.
With the region reduced to a concrete rubble, the economy was literally pushed back to the Stone Age.
But six years later, India's second largest district (the largest is Leh) Kutch-one-fourth the size of Gujarat-has reemerged from the ruins to become a major industrial hub. Fuelled by post-quake investment that toted over Rs 28,000 crore at last count, the district's throbbing economy is leading Gujarat's industrial march to a double digit growth.
The investment is already touching Rs 50,000 crore within the year. The leap is huge considering investment pre-quake, since independence, had never crossed Rs 2000 crore
