Narmada river conservation awareness campaign was launched on 11 December 2016 and concluded on Monday. The yatra has covered a distance of 3,344 km and passing through over 1,100 villages and towns. Tibetan spiritual leader Dalai Lama, BJP chief Amit Shah, Union minister Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath were also among the high-profile invitees.
PM Narendra Modi arrived at Amarkantak, around 450 km from Bhopal, in the afternoon. Security has been stepped up for the Prime Minister’s visit. Narmada Seva Yatra started with an objective to conserve and rejuvenate Narmada River. The Narmada river flows over a length of 1,312 km before draining through the Gulf of Khambhat into the Arabian Sea. The Narmada, also known as Rewa, is one of only three major rivers in the country that flows from east to west. The other two are Tapti and Mahi.
