Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): The sacred banks of the Narmada River in Jabalpur are set to get a grand makeover inspired by the ghats of the Saryu River in Ayodhya, as announced by Public Works Minister Rakesh Singh.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will soon lay the foundation stone for the ambitious project.

In the first phase, the project will be developed at a cost of ₹300 crore. A 1.75-kilometre-long Narmada riverfront will be constructed, connecting 6 major ghats - Khari Ghat, Daroga Ghat, Gauri Ghat, Uma Ghat, Siddha Ghat and Jilhari Ghat.

Minister Rakesh Singh said the redevelopment was necessary due to heavy crowding, unorganised pathways and cleanliness issues at Gauri Ghat.
