Ahead of the bridge inauguration, Dharam Thakar, Pandaji in Beyt Dwarka Temple said that the Sudarshan Setu is not just a bridge, it is a feeling. "This Sudarshan Bridge is the solution to all the problems faced by the villagers here. PM Modi had decided that Dwarka would also be included in 'Viksit Bharat'.
For this, we want to thank the Prime Minister," he said as quoted by news agency ANI. Another Priest Jignesh Joshi, in Beyt Dwarka Temple told ANI, "The most beautiful thing is that the bridge that will be opened is in the name of God 'Sudarshan'. Everyone will remember this.
We are all thankful to Modi ji. We cannot even explain our happiness in words. Many good wishes to PM Modi from all the priests." (With agency inputs)Milestone Alert!
