Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will inspect the country's longest water tunnel, the Sleemanabad Tunnel in Katni district, on Friday.
The Sleemanabad water tunnel, one of the state's most ambitious irrigation projects, has reached the final stage of completion.
Work on the 11.952-km-long mega tunnel is nearing completion, with only the final one-metre breakthrough remaining. The tunnel is designed to transport Narmada water by gravity through the Vindhya mountain range to the Son River basin.
