A neighbhourhood in Tuwa village of Panchmahals district comprising 50 families is all set to get roads, an anganwadi cenre and water facilities for the very first time in 46 years. After repeated applications, representations and memorandums by the villagers over the years, a resolution was finally passed by the zilla panchayat to end their woes.
In 1974 during the construction of the Panam dam, these 50 families, who lost their lands which submerged, were rehabilitated to Tuwa village in Panchmahals from Mahisagar.
Tuwa is the only place in Central Gujarat with a hot water spring. People in the village believe in the folklore according to which the hot spring has been there since the time of the Pandavas and was visited by Lord Ram as well.
