Government yet to bid out Uttarakhand ropeway project even a year after foundation stones laid

The Indian government has yet to bid out the development of two ropeways in Uttarakhand, despite the foundation stones being laid almost a year ago. The Sonprayag-Gaurikund-Kedarnath and Govind Ghat-Ghangaria-Hemkund Sahib ropeway projects aim to boost connectivity in hilly areas and tourism. The cost of the projects is likely to be revised, and there have been discussions on capping the number of passengers.
