- Relatively small sums of money are involved (Rs 305cr). It is a small price to pay to connect NE waterways to Rest of India waterways. It also offers a much shorter route and frees up the "Chicken Neck".
REPLY Oct 22, 2017 - Work starts from Feb/Mar 2018 till 2020.
Dredging increases flow of water through the main river channel, thus offering some mitigation to flooding, in Assam, WB and Bihar
REPLY Oct 21, 2017 - Cost of dredger, tug boat and houseboat is Rs 35-40 cr in toto. A small number of people (entrepreneurs) can undertake maintenance dredging through the year. Survey vessel can operate as a tourist vessel.
REPLY Oct 22, 2017 - Waterways are the most economic form of overland transport. Bangladesh waterways substantially increases the length of usable waterways.Trade with Bangladesh can also use these waterways — with cost savings to both sides.
REPLY Oct 22, 2017 - Dredging will clear these bottlenecks, which are low points during the dry season. Navigable depth of 2.7 - 3.0 m allows large cargo vessels to operate on waterways.
