 *Water Tourism for Thane* (Repost of 2019) Alert Citizens Forum has been following up with the Thane Municipal Corporation since 2016 to start Water Tourism for Thane along the Thane Creek. We had undertaken a study tour from Airoli Bridge in Mulund to Kopri, Balkum and to Kasheli in Thane to experience the difficulties in the route before putting up the proposal to the Municipal Commissioner. Thane district has many small creeks that joins two suburbs of the district and thus it can be used for the water way. The study tour along with consultants was to search the halts and the ways to clear the water way for the smooth ride without disturbing the environmental balance. We are glad that the Maharashtra Govt has finally given a green signal to start waterway transportation from Vasai - Kalyan and Thane. The tour was for the first phase of this ambitious project and the first water way will be connecting Kalyan, Thane and Vasai.  The Central Government has approved the projects and has

The Phase-I of the proposed water transport project along the Vasai-Thane-Kalyan route was likely to begin in the January 2020 but got delayed due to Covid. The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) was to implement the pre-investment activities which will cost Rs 128.89 crore. JNPT was earlier appointed as executive body for Phase-I, but the Ministry of Shipping is now ready to hand over the work to the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC). The pre-investment activities will include developing jetties at four places, investing in a few initial ferries, starting land acquisition process, developing roads, parking areas, ticketing shops and wireless system along these four jetties. TMC had proposed a water transport project in two phases. Phase-I will connect Vasai-Thane-Kalyan, while Phase-II will connect Thane to Navi Mumbai and Mumbai. The detailed project report (DPR) for Phase-I was approved in 2018. The entire budget of the water transport project will be given by the Central government
