Minister visits river origin site

Minister Patel also offer prayers at Goi river's starting point. At 2 pm, the minister reached the river's origin in Dhavda village. He performed abhishek and offered sriphal to the river.

Minister Patel shared that he has now worshipped at 91 river origins, including 90 during his Narmada walk. He noticed that tribal communities live near these water sources everywhere he visited.

The minister stressed that protecting small rivers and their starting points is needed to save bigger rivers. He saw that the hilly area around the origin lacks trees and asked people to plant more.

Local villagers asked for a pond to be built near the origin. The minister told officials to start pond work on government land after the rainy season ends. Later, at 3:30 pm, he attended a meeting with local leaders at Lions Community Hall in Sendhwa.

MP Gajendra Singh Patel, Pansemal MLA Shyam Barde, Vikas Arya, janpad panchayat president Lata Patel, Municipal council president Basanti Bai Yadav and others were present.
