New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched a seaplane service between the Statue of Unity near Kevadia in Gujarat’s Narmada district and Sabarmati Riverfront in Ahmedabad.
PM Modi inaugurated the service by boarding the twin- engine plane from pond-3 close to Sardar Sarovar Dam near Kevadia.
Before boarding the 19-seater plane plane, PM Modi spent some time at the water aerodrome and took details about the service.
Around 40 minutes later, the seaplane carrying PM Modi landed on the waters of Sabarmati Riverfront after covering a distance of around 200 kms.
