Kasauli ropeway project stuck

April 7, 2023

The Rs 206-crore ropeway project aimed at connecting Jabli on the Kalka-Shimla national highway (NH) with Kasauli is stuck at the tendering stage.
The Ropeways and Rapid Transport System Development Corporation (RTDC) is executing the project.
The 88-km ropeway, which will reduce the journey time from an hour to about 20 minutes, will be an eco-friendly transportation mode. It will have the twin advantages of easing traffic snarls as well as saving fuel to promote cleaner environment.
The lower terminal point of the project will be situated at Mohal Bhat ka Gaon (Jabli) on the Parwanoo-Dharampur section of the NH-5. The upper terminal point has been identified near the Public Works Department Circuit House in Kasauli.
Tourists were eagerly awaiting the setting up of the ropeway, which is slated to emerge as a major tourist attraction.
