The Chief Minister of Uttarakhand urged the government and contractors to speed up the implementation of pending ropeway projects aimed at boosting tourism and connectivity.
New Delhi — Uttarakhand's Chief Minister addressed the state's pending ropeway initiatives, emphasizing the need for accelerated timelines to meet growing tourism demand. He highlighted that several mountain districts are awaiting ropeway links that could reduce travel time and improve safety for locals and visitors alike.
The minister called on the state infrastructure department and private partners to resolve land acquisition issues and expedite clearances. He also urged the central government to release any pending funds to keep the projects on schedule.
Officials said that fast-tracking these ropeways aligns with the state's broader push to develop sustainable transport solutions in its hilly terrain, potentially generating employment and enhancing regional connectivity.
The CM assured that regular monitoring mechanisms would be instituted to track progress and address bottlenecks promptly, aiming for operational ropeways within the next two years.
Stakeholders are expected to convene later this month to finalize project roadmaps and allocate resources for immediate action.
