A new 120km river cruise along the Narmada River, linking Gujarat’s Statue of Unity and Madhya Pradesh’s Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, promises to revolutionize tourism and regional connectivity. The eco-friendly initiative involves significant infrastructure development and collaboration between states, offering a unique blend of cultural, spiritual, and scenic experiences.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel on his birth anniversary at the Statue of Unity in Kevadia, Gujarat. He also inaugurated several development projects worth over ₹ 284 crore, aimed at enhancing tourism, accessibility, and sustainability in the region. These projects include new tourism and attraction centers, a sub-district hospital, improved traffic infrastructure, and a solar project.
Heavy rainfall in Gujarat has caused widespread flooding, leading to the collapse of a road near the Statue of Unity. The state has seen 35 deaths and over 8,500 residents rescued. Prime Minister Modi spoke to the Chief Minister about the situation and assured support from the central government.
