Bhopal/New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Monday unveil a roadmap for steps to be taken for the conservation of the Narmada river in Madhya Pradesh.
The event at Amarkantak, the place in Anooppur district where the river originates, will mark the conclusion of ‘Namami Devi Narmade Sewa Yatra’. The Narmada river conservation awareness campaign was launched in December last year.
“I am delighted to join the programme to mark the conclusion of the Narmada Seva Yatra in Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh, tomorrow afternoon.
“Narmada Seva Yatra is an excellent mass movement to protect the Narmada & conveys a larger message of saving the environment as well,” Modi said in a series of tweets.
He said he will launch the ‘Narmada Seva Mission’ which will have a major impact on Madhya Pradesh’s ecology.
“The prime minister will release a roadmap for the conservation of Narmada, the lifeline of Madhya Pradesh, at Amarkantak,” Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Sunday.
“The roadmap has been prepared after wide-ranging consultations with various stakeholders, including environmentalists, river conservation experts and people directly associated with the Narmada,” he said. (PTI)
