Description

It first time happened in Jafrabad that the chief-minister came to meet the people and motivate them to increase literacy among girls. Before this no chief-minister has ever visited the city. Today people of Jafrabad want new companies and projects in the area to start thus developing the place. But some corrupt politicians do not fulfill their responsibilities. MLA Hira Solanki is familiar with all businesses existing in city like cable operating, fishing, cement plants, port development etc. He is participating in corruption via all these sources and governing like authoritarian. He wishes commission in all the contracts and businesses. Other than this the public is well mannered, helpful and trustworthy. The climate is not cloudy and not very hot. Since Jafrabad is a coastal town the main occupation of the people is fishing.
