Monuments facing submergence shifted [1]

In order to preserve 25 historical monuments and large temples from the threat of submergence under Narmada Valley Project, they had been relocated and reconstructed in their original form at safer places. In an official release issued here, it has been mentioned that most of these monuments dated 11th, 12th and 16th century BC shifted from the SSP, ISP and OSP reservoir areas. Six monuments affected by OSP reservoir in Khandwa and Dewas districts and 10 monuments affected by ISP reservoir in Khandwa, Harda and Dewas districts had been relocated.
