DDA to float tenders for houseboat convention centre at Delhi’s Baansera
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is going to ask for bids to build a special houseboat in Baansera, Delhi.
This houseboat will be like a meeting and dining place.
It will be made of different kinds of wood and will have beautiful carvings.
The houseboat will have many levels and will be fixed to the bottom of the water so it doesn't move.
It will be ready in about 180 days, and people can use it for meetings and dining.
The idea is to make the Yamuna river area a nice place for people to enjoy and take care of.
