Maravanthuruth to get its first floating boat jetty

Drifting around the water streets of Maravanthuruth to appreciate its lushness will soon become a hassle-free affair.

In a major boost to the inland water transportation network in the island destination, authorities are all set to open a floating boat jetty close to the Thuruttumma suspension bridge here.
