This historic cargo movement joining Maa Ganga (NW 1) to Pita Brahmaputra (NW 2) is made possible due to the vision of PM Shri Narendra Modi ji. Both Inland Waterways Authority of India and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority worked together to achieve this feat.
জলপথৰ আন্তঃগাঁথনি শক্তিশালীকৰণৰ জৰিয়তে অসম তথা উত্তৰ-পূৰ্বাঞ্চলৰ বুকুত নৱ দিগন্তৰ সূচনা ! এমাহৰ পূৰ্বে পাটনাৰপৰা এম ভি লালবাহাদুৰ শাস্ত্ৰী জাহাজখনে ২০০ মেট্ৰিক টনতকৈও অধিক খাদ্যশস্য কঢ়িয়াই গংগা নদীৰে গুৱাহাটীৰ পাণ্ডু বন্দৰ অভিমুখে ৰাওনা হৈছিল। ভাৰত-বাংলাদেশ প্ৰট'কল জলপথেদি ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ হৈ মুঠ ২,৩৫০ কিমি. যাত্ৰাৰ অন্তত আজি মালবাহী জাহাজখনে পাণ্ডুত প্ৰৱেশ কৰিলে।
