Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said that the Narmada campaign is a contribution towards the United Nations' Paris agreement to save the environment.

"This is not only a historic day for Madhya Pradesh but for the entire world. This campaign has become a wonderful mass movement. A score of people took part in our initiative, with only resolution to save the Narmada. It is our honour that the prime minister is coming here today on this occasion," Chouhan told ANI.

The Narmada yatra which was started in December last year from here will conclude after covering a distance of more than three thousand kilometres and covering over 1,100 villages and towns. The Narmada river conservation campaign was launched in December last year.
