When the river flows, the civilisation sings. Its stopping is not just the stopping of water, it is the silence of the music of our lives,” he said, adding, “the river should be considered a sentiment, not a resource. If poetry, songs and memories are to be saved, then first the rivers will have to be saved.”

"Where water flows, the soul resides there. Today there is a need to build a relationship with the river, not just save it. Only then will we survive,” Mishra added.

It was part of the second day of ‘Sadaneera Sammelan,’ under Jal Ganga Sanvardhan Abhiyan.
