On his birthday, PM Modi to perform Narmada puja

India Today  

For the first time, Sardar Sarovar dam in Gujarat witnessed water level to its maximum capacity, i.e. PM Modi had inaugurated the Sardar Sarovar dam project on September 17, 2017, but due to lack of rainfall, water levels remained low. This time, due to massive rainfall in Madhya Pradesh, water levels rose in Narmada river as a result of which this dam too reached its maximum capacity. Sardar Sarovar project managing director Rajiv Gupta said this is the first time that the dam has reached its maximum capacity.
