Starting November 10, Delhi will introduce its first recreational cruise service along the Yamuna River, specifically on the Sonia Vihar-Jagatpur stretch. This initiative aims to promote sustainable river transport by utilizing electric-powered vessels, marking a significant step towards eco-friendly tourism in the region.
The launch follows successful trial runs conducted last month, which included the participation of senior officials from the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) and the Delhi government. These trials were essential in ensuring the operational readiness of the cruise service ahead of its official debut.S2
The new service is expected to enhance recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike, contributing to the revitalization of the Yamuna River as a leisure destination. The initiative aligns with broader efforts to improve urban waterways and promote environmentally sustainable practices in Delhi.S1
