The West Bengal government has proposed to introduce inland waterways services along 12 rivers to reduce congestion on roads, the measure being fuel efficient, cost effective and eco-friendly. The rivers identified for national waterways include the Allahabad-Haldia stretch of the Ganga Bhagirathi Hooghly river, Ajoy river, (96 km), Bakreswar Mayurakshi river (110 km), Damodar river (135 km), DVC canal, (130 km), Dwarekeswar river (113 km), Ichamati river (634 km), Jalangi river (131 km), Rupnarayan river (72 km), Subarnarekha river (314 km), and Sunderban Waterways (201 km). The extent of development and prioritisation of the waterways will be prepared after a feasibility study.
