    I firmly agree and hating these politicians for their malign intentions and believing in nourishing their own homes with government grants. They are Bullshits, even stinky assholes or worse.AT last even curses can not change their cheap mentality.

    Agree with your comments. But it is wrong that Amreli stays in 18th century. Amreli is the first city of asia where all villages are connected with internet, called e-gram. Please take visit of Amreli.

    Amreli is not a clean city nor development city that is true. In amreli there is no single way to develop the city. All guys or gal just crazy about this town but i think Amreli not such a good town...

  • Harshad Rathod
    I am proud to be from Amreli. My father Dr.N.D.Rathod,PhD a renowned scientist and I am consulting radiologist at Amreli since last 16 years.
  • Radhika tank (guest)
    Sir there are many few good educated people like you. Even I am ME electronics from iit and belong to Amreli. But here unemployment in Amreli is so high , people have no jobs so in every home there is one political worker, or one press reporter or one land broker.
  • Radhika tank (guest)
    past was glorious here future and present are dark, not a good place fOr educated people to stay
  • Nisha (guest)
    Agree with Radhika it's the most backward city of India. No roads, no water, no gutter lines, frequent power cuts, no good schools or colleges, no railways, no airport, no malls, no big multiplexes, no big hospitals. COME and experience yourself
