WATCH: How PM Narendra Modi saved lensmen from being washed away in Gujarat

Sanosara: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday made some more fans for sure.

PM Modi, who was in Gujarat for the inauguration of a water project near Sanosara, saved the lives of several cameramen and photographers due to his alertness.

After inaugurating the ambitious Saurashtra Narmada Avataran for Irrigation (SAUNI) project, the Prime Minister was just looking at the flow of the water at the Aji-3 dam site after pushing a button to start the release from the dam.

 

 

"He suddenly noticed that several cameramen and photographers were standing on the downstream side. The strong flow of water released a little while ago was racing towards them and could have washed them away," Gujarat's Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel told reporters.

Busy taking photographs of the event, the cameramen and photographers were seemingly unaware of it. However, by clapping his hands and with other gestures, the Prime Minister alerted them and they escaped in time.
