Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami also inaugurated the National Championship “Tehri Water Sports Cup” at Tehri Lake.
Tehri was a small town situated at the confluence of Bhagirathi and Bhilangana rivers in Uttarakhand.
The city was submerged in water to create a large catchment area and thus the old Tehri city became the Tehri Lake, the largest man-made lake in Asia.
