Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will inspect the site of India's longest underground water conveyance tunnel in Katni on Friday, three days after engineers achieved the final breakthrough in the 11.95-km Sleemanabad tunnel.
Officials said Narmada water will be released into the system after the tunnel boring machine (TBM) is dismantled and removed, marking the start of water transfer to the drought-prone Vindhya region.
