The government is undertaking numerous projects to increase the depth, set up necessary navigation facilities, and construct jetties for the successful operation of both passenger and cargo vessels, according to a knowledgeable official who added that this is because the government is placing more emphasis on the development and maintenance of inland waterways.

The expansion of coastal and river shipping, including cruise services, would continue to be one of their top goals, according to recent comments made by Sarbananda Sonowal, Minister of Shipping and Waterways.
