Jetties are very useful for the coastal communities as fish landing platforms. Under Jal Marg Vikas Project (JMVP), Inland Waterway Authority of India (IWAI) has undertaken construction of sixty (60) new community jetties on National Waterway-1 (NW-1) to boost the socio-economic condition of the people. These jetties are utilized by the riverine/coastal communities for transporting their goods, local trade promotion, livelihood support, tourism purpose, ferry operation etc. So far, one hundred and fifteen (115) floating jetties have been provided on National Waterways in the country with a budget of Rs. 133.14 cr. as given at Annexure-I.
IWAI has constructed twenty-one (21) new community jetties under Jal Marg Vikas Project (JMVP) in the state of Bihar on NW-1. Further, tender for construction of two (2) community jetties on NW-37 (Gandakriver) has been floated. Details are given at Annexure-II.
There is already an Inter Modal Terminal (IMT) constructed in Kalughat (Saran) and two (2) community jetties at Digha (on both banks of National Waterway-1) to fulfill the needs of local boat operators as well as cargo operators.
On Patna side jetties at Panapur, Nasiriganj, Kachchi Dargah, Digha, Nakta Dyara, Barh and Raghopur Dyarat have been provided as per the feasibility.
