Which authority is developing the recreational Yamuna river cruise service in Delhi?
- A.Delhi Development Authority
- B.Inland Waterways Authority of India
- C.Directorate General of Shipping
- D.Cochin Shipyard Limited
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Inland Waterways Authority of India, which works under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways and is leading the project. Option A, the Delhi Development Authority, is a collaborator in the work rather than the lead agency, which makes it the strongest distractor here; the same applies to the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation, the Delhi Jal Board and the Irrigation and Flood Control Department of the Delhi government. Option C, the Directorate General of Shipping, handles shipping administration and safety and is not developing this service. Option D is a shipbuilder and has no stated role. Candidates should remember that the authority is responsible for national waterways, which is why the Yamuna stretch, designated National Waterway-110 under the Act of 2016, falls to it.
