THE Valankulam Boat House, once touted as a go-to recreational spot in the city, has shut down due to poor patronage. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC) has sent a letter to the city civic body in this regard.
A steady decline in visitors sounded the death knell for the water sports facility along the banks of Valankulam Lake. It has a range of unresolved issues, including poor infrastructure, high ride charges, and lack of basic amenities. However, sources have confirmed that it is non-functional owing to operational losses and maintenance failure.
