The Haryana Assembly Speaker Kanwar Pal on Wednesday inaugurated the excavation work on the Rs. 50-crore ‘Saraswati Revival Project’ at Rolaheri village in Yamunanagar district.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Pal said that the project would take the culture and heritage of India to the golden period.
Our great saints had scripted valuable Vedas and scriptures by the shores of the Saraswati, he said.
It is said that river Saraswati flows through 41 villages of Yamunanagar district. It originates from Adi Badri and its water falls in Somb river.
It has been proposed that a check dam would be constructed on Somb river to store rain-water and divert it to Saraswati.
It has also been proposed that a reservoir would be constructed in the village of Chhallour over an area of 400 acres.
The technical survey of the dam and reservoir is being conducted by the Irrigation Department. - PTI
