Twitter user Renuka Jain, while sharing a video, claimed that this is the view of the Ro Ro ferry service launched between Bhavnagar and Bharuch in Gujarat. With this video, Twitter user Renuka wrote a caption that the distance between Bhavnagar and Bharuch in Gujarat is 350 kilometers but if you go by sea, the distance is only 32 kilometers. This sea route has started a service to the Prime Minister, the capacity of this ship is 50 trucks, 60 buses, 350 bikes and 600 people at a time. Which cuts this distance in just half an hour. It may be noted here that the Ro Ro ferry service started between Bhavnagar and Bharuch in Gujarat is currently closed.
What is the truth?
