The alertness of Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the inauguration of a water project in Sanosara on Tuesday saved the lives of several cameramen and photographers, deputy chief minister of Gujarat Nitin Patel informed.
Speaking at a function after Modi inaugurated the ambitious SAUNI project, Patel said that the Prime Minister was just looking at the flow of the water at the Aji-3 dam site after pushing a button to start the release from the dam.
“He suddenly noticed that several cameramen and photographers were standing on the downstream side. The strong flow of water released a little while ago was racing towards them and could have washed them away,” Patel said.
Busy taking photographs of the event, the cameramen and photographers were seemingly unaware of it. But by clapping his hands and with other gestures the Prime Minister alerted them and they escaped in time.
“If the PM had not alerted them, a big mishap could have happened,” Patel said.
