# Yamuna cruise safari to start before Chhath, fare set at Rs 500 2026-10-26T23:21:14+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta conducted a trial run of a cruise on the Yamuna on Monday, 26 October 2026, along a six-kilometre waterway from Sonia Vihar to Jagatpur. The government plans to launch the service in the first week of November, though a final date has not been fixed. The cruise will have a capacity of 30 passengers, and the round trip is expected to take 35 to 45 minutes. The proposed fare for the entire journey is Rs 500, with an entry fee for the premises. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The trial run by the chief minister signals the government’s push to operationalise the Yamuna cruise ahead of Chhath, a festival that draws large crowds to the river. With a 30-passenger capacity and a 45-minute trip, the service remains small in scale, and no date has been fixed for the formal launch. The unresolved next step is the announcement of a start date. ## Coverage - amarujala.com Straight factual report on trial run, plans and fare.
