The enemy is ...The enemy is fear.
We think it is hate, but it is fear.

known the The Mighty Saraswati River was flowing in North india from
Himalyas with tributaries eminating between Nangal in Punjab and
Dehradun In Uttarkhand. Thanesar, Pehowa, Hanuman Garh, Fort Abbas
were located on its Banks. It then moved east of Sind River and emptied
into Rann Of Kuchh.

It
was a joyous moment for the team working on reviving the Saraswati
River in Yamunanagar district as they found strong water current on
reaching a depth of seven-feet today.
This has raised hopes for the entire project, which was receiving criticism from various planks who termed it an RSS ambition.
Assembly
Speaker Kanwar Pal Gurjar had inaugurated the excavation work of
‘Saraswati Revival Project’ at Rullaheri village in Yamunanagar district
on April 21.
After
inauguration, the District Development and Panchayat Department had
undertaken digging work in two-and-a-half-km area. Water struck at nine
points when the creek of river was being dug at Mughalwali village on
Tuesday.
“The water is potable, fresh in taste and sweet,” said Deputy Commissioner SS Phulia, after a visit to the Mughalwali village.
The
delighted people of the village offered prayers to Goddess Saraswati
and distributed sweets amongst themselves and workers involved in the
digging work.
District
Development and Panchayat Officer Gagandeep Singh, who is coordinating
the Saraswati Revival Project, said the river length in Yamunanagar
district would be 55 km.
Earlier,
plan was to dig the river till seven feet deep. However, now, they were
planning to dig it till 10 feet deep for good natural flow of water.
The river would pass through 43 villages of the district.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has already announced Rs 50 crore for this project.
The
credit to bring the Saraswati River on ground goes to 88-year-old RSS
veteran Darshan Lal Jain. He had formed Saraswati Nidi Sodh Sansthan in
1999 and since then, has been struggling for its revival.
“Some
people thought it to be a mythological fantasy but water found at
7-feet -deep in its creek has proved that the Saraswati River is flowing
below the earth,” said Darshan Lal Jain.
The
river originates from Adi Badri in Yamunanagar. It is believed that the
river passes underground through Kurukshetra, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad
and Sirsa districts before entering Rajasthan and Gujrat.
The
DC said the project would prove to be a milestone in the development of
this area as it would promote eco-tourism, pilgrimage tourism, water
conservation and improve ecological balance. Truth unravelled
