While addressing the gathering, CM said, "Last year due to floods in Narmada river, many houses were damaged in 46 villages, including Somalwada of Sehore. Out of 600 houses being built, today I have inaugurated 400 of them. I congratulate the residents whose houses have been built and the team that built them."
