The boat is in itself a first of its kind: thought, designed, made and launched by the Dal dwellers solely on their own, they say. Photo: Mubashir Khan for Greater Kashmir.
This comes amid several horrible fire incidents across the Dal and Nigeen lakes where over dozens of houseboats were gutted and lives were lost, including those of tourists. Photo: Mubashir Khan for Greater Kashmir.
