Delhi Launches First Recreational Yamuna River Cruise Service on Sonia Vihar-Jagatpur Stretch
Delhi is launching its first recreational Yamuna river cruise service on the Sonia Vihar-Jagatpur stretch, inaugurated by Union Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal alongside Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu. The electric-powered cruise aims to promote river-based tourism and sustainable mobility along National Waterway-110. Trial runs were conducted last month with officials from the Inland Waterways Authority of India and Delhi government. The service offers a unique recreational experience with facilities including air-conditioned boats and public amenities.
