She said that there would be three trips – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday – in a week. “There will be special packages from Hyderabad,” she added.
The Tourism department is purchasing another boat at a cost of Rs. 1.6 crore and that would be pressed into service in a month, she said. “About 300 persons could travel in that boat,” she added.
The present boat could accommodate only hundred persons, she said. Chandana Khan said that more launch services would be introduced at Bhadrachalam and Papikondalu for the tourists.
