Saint Sudhanshu Maharaj and Pt Kamal Kishore Nagar to participate in Yatra on Monday
Bhopal: In village Chandel of Kandwa district Swami Akhileshwaranand Ji said that water exists on major part of the earth but availability of drinking water is decreasing. That's why river conservation is very necessary. He appreciated Narmada Seva Yatra, the biggest environment protection campaign launched by the Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for creating awareness in people for river and environment protection. He appealed to villagars that they should make the river conservation campaign of the State government successful by participating in it. He said that when human was illiterate and uncivilised, natural resources were pollution-free and pure. With development of human civilisation, natural resources were exessively exploited and water sources get polluted. To make water-sources pollution-free is needed.
Khandwa MLA Devendra Verma said that Narmada is lifeline of the state. Mother Narmada's contribution in state's economy is important. Major irrigation and power production projects are based on Narmada river.
MLA Lokendra Singh Tomar said in Bedani village that shortage of water is visible because of tree felling in villages on the banks of Narmada. Plantation both the sides of Narmada river and maintaining cleanliness on the banks is required.
