CM Bhajan Lal Sharma praised Rajasthan Patrika’s Amrutam Jalam Abhiyan. Addressing the Ramgarh Dam restoration ceremony, CM Bhajan Lal Sharma said, “Gulab Kothari ji has taken a good initiative, for which he deserves many thanks. The arrival of water in the Ramgarh Dam will benefit everyone. This area is known by the name of Banganga. When Arjun shot an arrow on the earth, Ganga emerged. This Banganga flows through Dausa and Bharatpur. This work has started today, and it will not stop. This Ban Ganga will fill the Ramgarh Dam and provide ample water to Dausa and Bharatpur.”
CM Bhajan Lal Sharma further stated, “PM Modi says that besides politics, we also do work related to social concerns. PM Modi’s cleanliness campaign has become a people’s campaign today. The PM also took up the ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ campaign, which increased awareness among people. A ‘One Tree in Mother’s Name’ campaign is underway in the state. He appealed to the people to take this campaign forward in every village and town for water conservation. This program is running in every district of Rajasthan, and everyone should participate in it.”
Today is a very sacred day: Gulab Kothari
Addressing the Ramgarh Dam restoration ceremony, Gulab Kothari, Chief Editor of the Patrika Group, said, “Today is a very sacred day. Just as there is a resolution behind the flow of the Ganga, similarly, there is a resolution behind Patrika’s Amritam Jalam. This dream has been going on for a long time. The dam has been dry for two decades. Many people came and went, but no one felt this pain.”Two Chief Ministers ran the government, but…
Gulab Kothari said, “In Rajasthan, two Chief Ministers ran the government. But, they also did not realise that the dam was dry. But, we should never abandon a resolution. We continued to work honestly, and people joined us. Today, CM Bhajan Lal has given time for the dam’s restoration work. This is a very big step by the government. The Rajasthan High Court gave many decisions regarding Ramgarh. But, where are those orders today? We were alone in this work. But, now we have got a strong partner. Today is the day, a new dawn has arrived for Ramgarh.”
