NEW DELHI: River Ganga will be developed as major tourist destination and navigation corridor where the tourists from across the world will be able to visit various tourism spots along the river banks from Gangotri to Ganga Sagar and also enjoy ' Shikara ' ride.
Unveiling the plan, Union tourism and culture minister Shripada Naik on Monday said tourism spots will be developed by government all along the banks of Ganga from Gangotri to Gang a Sagar .
Speaking on the occasion of 'Ganga Manthan' (national dialogue on river Ganga) here, Naik said his ministry was also exploring the possibilities of introducing ' Shikaras' on Ganga on the pattern of Kashmir (Srinagar).
Ganga Manthan is being organized at Vigyan Bhawan where Union ministers, MPs, scientists, experts, religious leaders and NGOs are discussing various issues relating to the river pollution and cleaning exercises.
Views and suggestions, expressed by the stakeholders during the session, will be shared with the Committee of Secretaries (CoS) that has been working on a blueprint to develop the river. This group is expected to submit its plan by mid-July.
