Delhi Launches First Recreational Yamuna River Cruise Service to Boost Tourism
Delhi launched its first recreational Yamuna River Cruise service, the 'Namo Yamuna River Safari,' operating a 4-6 km electric-powered route between Sonia Vihar and Jagatpur. Inaugurated by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, the 40-minute cruise aims to promote river-based tourism and provide a new recreational experience. Facilities include food kiosks, a children's zone, and safety features. While officials highlight the project's potential for sustainable urban mobility and tourism, opposition parties have questioned claims about river cleanliness and environmental impact.
