“The conservation and enhancement of our country’s water resources is a sacred goal. I will work with dedication and devotion to achieve this. Under the leadership of the Prime Minister, we will understand the importance of water, conserve it, and ensure rich water resources for future generations. Under the farsighted vision and inspirational leadership of the Honourable Prime Minister, we will all work together to transform water power into national power,” he added.
