Modi was reacting to Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav's post sharing the development.
Yadav said, "Proud moment! Two more Indian beaches have made it to the list of Blue Beaches. Minicoy, Thundi Beach and Kadmat Beach - both in Lakshadweep - are the proud entrants in the coveted list of Blue Beaches, an eco-label given to the cleanest beaches in the world."
The two beaches have taken India's tally of 'blue beaches' to 12, Yadav said, adding that it is part of India's relentless journey towards building a sustainable environment under Modi's leadership.
