PM Modi to inaugurate Sardar Sarovar Dam today

Ahmedabad, Sept 17 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday will inaugurate the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat on the occasion of his 67th birthday.


Modi will mark his birthday by dedicating the world's second largest dam to India.

The foundation stone of the dam was laid by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on April 5, 1961.

The dam is 1.2-km-long and 163 metres deep.

The inauguration will take place even as activist Medha Patkar is protesting against the project while demanding rehabilitation of the families affected by the construction of the same.
