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. The project forms part of a programme by the Tourism department to establish the State’s first water street project.
The State government had earlier sanctioned ₹1 crore towards the expansion of the water street project here. Out of this, ₹26.74 lakh was spent on the construction of the floating boat jetty here.
