Sarbananda Sonowal, the union government’s minister for ports, shipping, waterways, and ayush, announced that a contemporary floating jetty would be built at the Biswanath Ghat soon.
“This will create a smooth platform to transport both cargo and passengers via waterways which in turn will transform the local economy,” said the Union Waterways Minister in Biswanath.
Speaking on the occasion, the Union Minister, Sarbananda Sonowal said, “It gives me immense pleasure to share this news with you that the Union Government has drawn up plans to set up a modern floating jetty at the historic Biswanath Ghat. Once functional, this jetty will act as a catalyst of change and realisation of the vision of PM Narendra Modi about Transformation via Transportation. The rich history of the Biswanath Ghat – as a confluence of the spiritual, economic and social points of importance – will get a further boost. The new jetty will be instrumental for the smooth passage of passengers to commute as well as for the local economy to flourish as the farmers and traders will be able to transport and export our fantastic produce to the world market via waterways.”
