Centre plans to launch amphibious plane on Ganga
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday said that the Centre is planning to introduce an amphibious aircraft on the Ganga between Varanasi and Kolkata. "It will be a cheaper mode of transport", he added. While the Parliament has already consented to develop five inland waterways which will include the rivers Ganga and Brahmaputra, the target is to develop 111 waterways.
