The Gujarat government on Wednesday said Porbandar-Chhaya and Nadiad municipalities will be converted into municipal corporations to boost the development of these towns.
Porbandar is the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi and Nadiad is the birthplace of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
“Following the suggestion by Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, we have decided to convert two more local bodies, Porbandar-Chhaya and Nadiad municipalities, into municipal corporations to boost development in these towns,” state Finance Minister Kanubhai Desai told the assembly.
