“We will start operation of
two mini-cruise ships in the Saryu River before the inauguration of the Ram
Temple in Ayodhya. We are in the final phase of preparations,” he said.
Malviya said each
vessel would be a 30-seater and fully air-conditioned. “In the close to
hour-long trip, pilgrims will catch glimpses of Ayodhyaghats on the banks of
Saryu. They will have a mesmerising experience while cruising through the
famous ghats of the holy river,” he said.
The vessels would be fully
solar operated. Tourism officials said the cruise service would give a boost to
tourism in Ayodhya and generate direct and indirect job opportunities.
