The Centre today approved development of six-km long circuit in the pilgrimage district of Dwarka in Gujarat under a central scheme.
To be developed at a cost of Rs 16.27 crore, the 'Bet Dwarka Darshan Circuit' will connect the famous 'Dwarkadish Haveli' and 'Hanuman Dandi', the temple housing Hindu lord Hanuman and his son Makardhwaj, in Dwarka.
Two important water bodies -- Ranchod Talav and Shankhudhar Lake -- are also situated along the circuit, an official release said.
The Centre had launched in January 2015 the 'Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY)' scheme which pertains to heritage related infrastructure development in 12 cities, including Dwarka-Bet Dwarka, at a total cost of Rs 500 crore.
So far, projects with an investment of Rs 420 crore have been approved for the 12 selected cities.
