Abstract

The Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) has opened a new office in Srinagar to improve inland water transport in Jammu & Kashmir. This initiative aims to develop river navigation infrastructure on three national waterways in the region and implement various projects such as installing floating jetties, dredging navigational fairways, deploying night navigational aids, and conducting hydrographic surveys. IWAI also plans to enhance water navigation infrastructure in Dal and Wullar lakes, with a cruise hotel proposal for Wullar Lake already under consideration, aligning with efforts to promote eco-friendly transport options and leverage the area's tourism and economic potential.
