Union government to prioritise Kochi-like Goa Water Metro: Sarbananda Sonowal

The Indian government, led by Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, plans to replicate the successful Kochi water metro system in Goa, aiming to connect Panaji with riverine towns and villages along the Mandovi River. This initiative is expected to enhance connectivity, particularly in areas lacking efficient road networks, thereby promoting tourism and local economic growth. The move underscores the government's commitment to improving urban infrastructure in coastal regions and highlights the potential benefits of public transport alternatives in densely populated urban areas.
