The “flying boat” in Meghalaya’s Dawki town has drawn the attention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi even as the centre is becoming an enchanting tourist destination.
Dawki is a small border city located in Meghalaya which is famous for Umngot River with crystal clear water. If one takes a boat ride, can see the shadow of the boat into the bottom of the crystal-clear river floating with the boat.
Prime Minister mentioned about the flying boat in his radio telecast Mann Ki Baat on Sunday and said: “I have been watching on social media the picture of a flying boat in Meghalaya that is becoming viral.”
The water of the river is so clear that the river’s bed can be seen and the boat seems “floating in the air’. Modi said the picture catches attention at the very first sight itself and most of people must have certainly seen it online.
“When we look closely at this boat floating in the air, we come to know that it is moving on the river water. The water of the river is so clear that we can see its bed and the boat seems to be floating in the air,” the Prime Minister said, adding that there are many states in the country and there are many areas where people have preserved the colors of their natural heritage.
“These people have kept the lifestyle of living in harmony with nature alive even today. This is an inspiration to all of us too,” the Prime Minister said.
