Monsoon brings ray of hope for boat makers

Kanpur (UP), July 13 (ANI): As the monsoon arrives, it brings the hope for good business for Kanpur boat makers every year. Even with the scarcity of rain and low water levels in the river the shipwrights couldn't help but still hope to fetch good income during the monsoon season. There are at least 40-50 families that are into this business of boat making and have been passed on in the families through the generations, since the time of British-rule. They take the boats to sell in districts like Banda, Agra, Fatehpur, etc.
