22NOV2018 - NEWS - India launches new inland waterways terminal in Varanasi, UP

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi has recently inaugurated a new inland waterways terminal on Ganges River in Varanasi in the state of Uttar Pradesh (UP). The multimodal container terminal has also received its first cargo vessel that is loaded with a consignment of food and beverage company Pepsico. The vessel started its journey from Kolkata, India, in the last week of October, connecting the eastern part of UP with the Bay of Bengal through the water route. The inland waterway is expected to save time and money, as well as bring down congestion on roads and reduce the cost of fuel and pollution.
