Jharkhali, around 80 kilometers from the city of Kolkata, has been taking shape as a transit point between the state of West Bengal and the world’s largest mangrove forest – the Sunderbans. For more than five decades, Jharkhali was just an uninhabited village located on the banks of the river Ganga. The area witnessed massive development when the government launched large-scale plans to promote it as a transit point on the Diamond Harbour Road around three years ago.
