``Work on dam must continue''

RAJKOT: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that work on the Sardar Sarovar Dam should not stop, as it was the lifeline of the drought prone region of Saurashtra, Gujarat.

At a public rally here, from where BJP leader L.K. Advani began the `Bharat Suraksha Yatra' this morning, Mr. Modi criticised the Narmada Bachao Andolan activists' demand that work on increasing the height of the dam be stopped. The displaced persons would be rehabilitated. "The Government was fully committed to the rehabilitation of those being displaced or affected by the project," he said. — UNI
