Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday said the state government is developing two wildlife sanctuaries in a bid to fulfil the commitment to environmental protection and wildlife conservation.
Yadav said the 26th wildlife sanctuary of the state is being developed in an area of 614 square kilometres in Omkareshwar, which will be developed in the future as a tiger reserve, while another sanctuary will be developed at Jahangarh in Sheopur district.
He also released the Vikramaditya flag and the booklet 'Bharat Ka Nav Varsh Vikram Samvat'.
He said 'Gudi Padwa' (new year) will be celebrated with great enthusiasm in the entire state on March 30 and asked minister to take part in programmes to be held in their districts on the occasion.
Under the Vikram Mahotsav, special events are going to be held in New Delhi on 12-13-14 April, in which a drama centred on Emperor Vikramaditya will also be presented, he said.
Activities are going on to give concrete shape to the investment proposals on the ground, he added. The cabinet meeting chaired by Yadav gave in-principle consent for setting up solar energy and wind energy projects to reduce the operation and maintenance of group drinking water supply schemes of Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam.
