Ganga Dredging Project in Ghazipur for National Waterway-1

under construction

A three-year dredging project on the Ganga river in Ghazipur aims to maintain a navigable depth of 3.5 meters and a channel width of 45 meters year-round. The project addresses the challenge of a hard riverbed that hinders cargo vessel and cruise ship movement during peak summer low water levels. The project is expected to facilitate uninterrupted cargo movement, boost tourism, and benefit the river environment.
