All civilizations across the globe have originated on river banks. The history of the Indus Valley civilization also echoes this fact: cities and towns have developed along riverbanks. Civilizations have been built around rivers. Therefore, it is essential for all of us to protect rivers and their flow, said Governor of Tripura Indrasena Reddy Nallu while participating in the Ganga Puja at the Sonamura Srimantapur International Land Port on the occasion of International Rivers Day.
