Telangana Media Visits Assam’s First River Terminal
A group of journalists from Telangana visited a special place in Assam called The Gateway of Guwahati Terminal.
This is India’s first floating terminal on a river.
It’s built on the big Brahmaputra River in Guwahati.
The terminal is not just for traveling on the river; it’s also meant to help tourism and create jobs.
The Indian government spent a lot of money to build it, and it’s meant to make traveling and trading easier in the Northeast part of India.
The terminal is a big deal because it shows how Assam is growing and becoming more connected.
Telangana media delegation visited The Gateway of Guwahati Terminal, India’s first floating river transport hub.
The terminal is located on the Brahmaputra River in Guwahati, Assam, and aims to boost river-based transport and tourism.
The project is part of Assam’s development strategy to enhance connectivity and economic opportunities in the Northeast.
The terminal will improve passenger movement, trade connectivity along National Waterway-2, and create local jobs.
The total cost of the project is Rs 632 crore, funded by the Government of India.
