Meanwhile, the Prime Minister inaugurated infrastructure projects and also laid the foundation stone for multiple projects at the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand.
Reflecting back on the flood which occurred in 2013, Modi said, "The damage (2013 floods) was unimaginable here. But I was able to successfully carry these redevelopment projects here due to my past experience as Gujarat Chief Minister."
"Many saints across the country are awakening spiritual consciousness," he added.
