Floating gardens to come up on canals in Alappuzha

The idea to revitalise the canals is Alappuzha municipality

The network of canals that meander through the Alappuzha town has earned it the nickname ‘Venice of the East’. The famous canals once abuzz with traders and travellers, however, lost their glory over the years and they became drains coated with weeds. Joining the efforts to clean and revitalise the canals is Alappuzha municipality, which has come up with the idea of floating gardens on the canals.
