Ropeway On River Ganga

Kolkata would be beautiful like London someday - whether it is a dream
or will becoming true, not known. But the administrators of the city
want to do
something new, something nice.
A ropeway will be run
from Millennium Park of Kolkata to Howrah Station.
Floating jetty for steamers and arrangement of water sports will also be there.
There'll be 'Kolkata Eye' on Howrah side of river just as 'London Eye'.
From Nimtala Ghat to 2nd Hooghly Bridge in Kolkata side and from
Howrah Station to Botanical Garden - both the banks of the river will
be decorated with greens.
A few
multi-national companies showed interests to make the 'Marina' near
the 2nd Hooghly Bridge. It'll be a floating jetty on the mid-river
from which tours will be conducted for Digha, Sundarban etc. The
project will be commenced next year.
