Sardar Sarovar Dam

The BJP has been critical of Medha Patkar's campaign against Gujarat's Sardar Sarovar Dam which was inaugurated in 2017.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that a new enthusiasm has returned to the country from the homecoming of Cheetah in Madhya Pradesh a few days ago.

PM Modi said that "urban Naxals and anti-development elements" having political backing had stalled the construction of Sardar Sarovar Dam on Narmada river in Gujarat for many years by running a campaign claiming that it would harm the environment.

The number of visitors to the iconic Statue of Unity near the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat's Narmada district has crossed the 75 lakh mark, a state government official said on Tuesday.

Heavy rainfall in parts of Gujarat on Sunday created a flood-like situation in many areas including Bharuch, where over 2,000 people from inundated areas along the Narmada river were evacuated following release of water from the Sardar Sarovar dam, officials said.

The Congress in an attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the eagerness to fill Sardar Sarovar dam on the occasion of his birthday had created problems for "thousands of people" in Madhya Pradesh.

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his supporters, social activist Medha Patkar who is leading the Narmada Bachao Andolan has said that PM Modi's birthday celebrations overshadowed the grief of those affected by the Sardar Sarovar Dam project.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Bala Bachchan on Tuesday claimed the Sardar Sarovar Dam was filled up to the full reservoir level "ahead of its schedule" to facilitate celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday at the dam site.
