The ferry service between Mumbai and Revas in Maharashtra's Raigad district, which was suspended due to monsoon since June, will resume from September 1.
Local authorities report that a ferry capsized off Indonesia's Sulawesi island, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 15 lives, as per Al Jazeera's report on Monday.
The service will reduce the 375-km road distance between Bhavnagar and Surat to 90-km by sea route, Modi said while flagging off the service via video conferencing.
