Cruise Services on the Yamuna to Begin Today

River tourism in the national capital region is set to receive a boost with the launch of cruise services on the Yamuna River today. Union Minister for Ports, Shipping and Waterways Sarbananda Sonowal will inaugurate the services. Similar to the introduction of electric buses for road transport, the initiative aims to offer a new travel experience through cruise facilities on the river.

A successful trial run of the cruise service was recently conducted on the Yamuna River. Following the successful test, preparations have been made for the official launch. The initiative is expected to promote river-based tourism, attract more visitors and encourage the use of waterways for transport and recreational activities. The launch of these services could mark a new development in tourism along the Yamuna.
