APTDC plans to resume two boat services
The Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation (APTDC) will conduct the trial run of a passenger boat service on the Godavari river between Singanapalli and Papikonda hill range on April 15. Boat services to the Papikonda hill range were halted in 2019 after a private boat capsized at Kachuluru in Devipatnam mandal in East Godavari district, killing 46 passengers from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. APTDC Divisional Manager (East and West Godavari districts) Thota Veera Narayana told The Hindu that the Haritha boat service will be run on a trial basis between Singanapalli boating point in West Godavari to the Papikonda hill range on April 15 to assess the possibilities and for the technical examination of the boat.More Related News
