Jammu and Kashmir Government Awaits NIA Approval for Tourist Cable Car Project

The Jammu and Kashmir government has revealed plans to launch a cable car project in Pahalgam, a site which was recently affected by a terror attack, pending approval from the National Investigation Agency (NIA).

This statement came in response to Pahalgam MLA Altaf Ahmad Wani's inquiry in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly. The project, aiming to boost tourism, is designed to span 1.4 kilometers from the Yatri Niwas in Pahalgam to Baisaran.

Although tenders were finalized and agreed upon with Ronmas India Pvt. Ltd., the post-attack scenario has delayed commencement. The government stresses the project's economic significance and is eager to resume work once NIA gives the go-ahead.
