Modiji has given a new dimension to tourism by weaving Gujarat”s traditions and culture with this sector.” In his address, Mr. Patel spoke about the Rann of Kutch as a ”heaven of earth”.

The tent city is situated in this white desert (Rann of Kutch), attracting thousands of tourists every year.

“Our PM”s tireless efforts has converted this place into a famous tourist spot and a heaven of earth. I am confident that other parts of Kutch district would be developed on the same line,” said Mr. Patel.
