Sharing its pictures, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday urged people to visit the Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat and hoped that those visiting the super structure will also go to the Statue of Unity.

He also pointed out that the Statue of Unity has found a place in the TIME 100 greatest places 2019 list.

The prime minister said he is happy to share that the water levels at the Sardar Sarovar Dam have touched a historic 134-meter mark.

The 182-metre tall Statue of Unity is a statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

While most people on Twitter were proud about this achievement, a few pointed out an irony in the situation.
