Prime Minister calls experience of riding seaplane as 'unique'
Ahmedabad, Dec 12 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday called his experience of riding a seaplane during his campaigning for the second phase of the Assembly polls in the state as 'unique'.
"Earlier today, I travelled on a sea plane from Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati River to Dharoi Dam, taking off and landing on water. This experience was unique. It adds strength to our resolve to harness waterways for India’s progress," Modi tweeted.
He also illustrated the ways the transport medium could be used in the upcoming days.
"Effective use of waterways augurs well for tourism. Places like Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, our vibrant North East, places with many water bodies, big dams, waterways will benefit with usage of sea planes. More tourism also brings greater economic opportunities," Modi said.
He said the service could be helpful at the time of medical emergencies.
"Sea plane services can also be helpful during times of medical emergencies. Those needing even quicker access to medical care and those living in remote areas stand to gain a lot," he said.
Gujarat will vote in the second phase of Assembly polls on Dec 14.
