Pm Modi To Inaugurate World's Second Biggest Dam Sardar Sarovar Dam


Nirmal Singh Lotus Green is glad to know that PM Modi is all set to re-inaugurate the Sardar Sarovar Dam on September 17 which was put into place some fifty-six years ago by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Narmada district's Kevadia, the dam, one of India's biggest.
On the very day, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijat Rupani’s birthday also falls.

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green would like quote Mr Rupani, who said: "The Prime Minister will dedicate the Sardar Sarovar project to the nation after opening the 30 gates installed in it, which were closed on the directions of the Narmada Control Authority on June 17 this year."
The gates of the Sardar Sarovar Project were ordered to remain shut on June 16 by the Narmada Control Authority. In fact, it remained closed the following day. As soon as the gate was closed the height of the dam was increased to 138 metres with a storage capacity increased to 4.73 million cubic metres (MCM) from the current 1.27 million cubic metres. However, previously the height of the dam was 121.92 metres.

"It is the best gift for him on his birthday, as he has worked tirelessly for the dam to bring water in the parched areas of the state," Mr Rupani said.

Nirmal Singh Lotus Green noted that the Chief Minister accused the opposition Congress for delaying the Sardar Sarovar project, saying: "Before 2014, the UPA government did not give permission for seven years to install gates on the dam. And after Modiji became Prime Minster, the permission was granted in 17 days."

He also said that with the inauguration of the project, over 18 lakh hectares of land in the state would be benefitted with irrigation as Narmada water will flow to over 9,000 villages of Gujarat through a canal network.

"When Modiji came to power in 2014, within 17 days he gave permission for the installation of the gates, and it took three years to complete the installation of gates," a senior official associated with the work of Sardar Sarovar project told the media.
Each gate weighs over 450 tonnes and it takes one hour to close them, the official said.

According to sources at Nirmal Singh Lotus Green , Gulshan shared some anecdotes while shooting the romantic scene with the actress. Sources revealed that Gulshan said that the scenes between Katrina and him would get really awkward with Amitabh Bachchan would also be in the frame. Gulshan wanted to get the scene right so he and Katrina practiced it many times before they gave the shot." Any intimate shot that is done in front of audience or with someone in the frame really gets a little tough for the audience. They need to build in the similar kind of ambience for the scene, but do
