In a significant development, the Jammu and Kashmir administration prepares to introduce battery-powered boats as an alternative mode of public transport in the iconic Dal Lake and Jehlum, according to a media report. This initiative aims to provide residents and tourists with a sustainable and efficient means of transportation while preserving the natural beauty of these water bodies.
The approval process for boat samples is nearing completion, with two types of boats set to cruise the picturesque water bodies. The 8-seater and 20-seater boats will serve as the primary mode of public transportation, catering to the needs of both the local community and visitors, an official told The Tribune.
