The Gujarat government has approved a ₹1,700-crore bridge-cum-barrage project across the Mahi River, marking a significant step toward strengthening the state’s infrastructure and water management capabilities. Designed as a dual-purpose project, it aims to improve regional connectivity while enhancing irrigation facilities, water storage capacity, and efficient utilization of water resources.
The project is expected to provide substantial benefits to the agricultural sector by ensuring better water availability and supporting crop productivity. Additionally, improved transportation links are likely to boost economic activity, facilitate trade, and contribute to overall regional development and growth.
