SURAT: Even as the state government on Saturday announced the cancellation of Par-Tapi-Narmada river-link project, the Congress said that the planned protest rally by tribal groups on May 27 will be held. Chief minister Bhupendra Patel announced here on Saturday that the project had been scrapped.
The CM held a press conference to announce this and later he was felicitated at a small gathering of elected representatives and BJP workers from the tribal region, on the premises of the circuit house. BJP’s tribal MLAs from Valsad and Navsari were present.
