The navy boat christened 'Barahsingha' has been berthed at a jetty created near the Signature Bridge, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
An Indian navy boat will be used to vet Yamuna's potential as a waterway channel, a statement from the Lt Governor office has said.
The navy boat christened 'Barahsingha' has been berthed at a jetty created near the Signature Bridge, it said in a statement on Tuesday.
"The boat has been brought to ascertain the navigability of the river and explore the possibility of utilising the clean channel as an inland waterway for transport, recreation and tourism," the statement said.
The 11-metre-long work boat of the navy was moored near the Signature Bridge because a trailer that brought it from Kochi, could not access any other suitable location on Yamuna, it said.
