Currently, pedal boats are exclusively utilized in the ponds at Sukhadia Circle, but the initiative aims to extend this eco-friendly mode of transportation to the picturesque Pichola and Fateh Sagar lakes. Before commencing the service, the government plans to seek legal advice to ensure compliance with regulations.
