India's First River-Linking Project Inaugurated in Madhya Pradesh Tuesday Feb 25,2014


The BJP-led Madhya Pradesh Govt has gifted the Malwa Region India's first ever river-linking project to solve the problem of water scarcity

As part of the Narmada-Kshipra link project, Narmada's water has been lifted to 350 metres and through pipelines spread over almost 49 kilometres to Kshipra river in Ujjain, about 15 kilometres from Indore.

The Project was inaugurated by BJP leader LK Advani on Tuesday Feb 25,2014
L K Advani at his address said
"Supreme Court has recommended that central government should work on linking river scheme. The next government will work for it and Shivraj has already started the work by linking Narmada and Kshipra ''

The project has 3 more phases which will connect river Ganga to three rivers - Gambhir, Kalisindh, Parvati.

Interlinking of rivers was former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee's dream project in the NDA government, but it has started taking shape only 10 years later.
