None of us expected this to happen. Travelling to Agra from Delhi will never be the same again. According to a report by The Times of India, the central government is planning to connect the two cities by seaplanes on River Yamuna not too long from now, Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday.
Forget everything else, imagine what an amazing experience it would be to avail such a transportation infrastructure. Something like this will prove to be an important point in India's maritime history. Speaking about the project, Gadkari told The Times of India, "The 'fly boat' project will start in the next three months. We have also been in discussions with the Airport Authority of India (AAI) in order to frame rules and regulations needed to introduce seaplanes on this route."
This ambitious project has been announced a few months after the Parliament passed the Indian Waterways Bill on March 11, which aims to build 106 inland waterways in the country and thus revolutionise India's transportation system.
