Residents oppose ropeway to Bijli Mahadev

June 3, 2023

The Bijli Mahadev Ropeway in Kullu is facing heavy opposition from residents of Kharal and Kashawari valleys.
They demanded that the project should be shunned altogether.
Villagers said that the deity Bijli Mahadev had orated through his oracle that any tampering with the barren mountain in the territory, from where the ropeway is proposed, will not be tolerated.
A 7-km-long ropeway at a cost of Rs 240 crore is proposed from Pirdi near Kullu to Bijli Mahadev on top of the Kharal hill opposite Kulluk town.
- Eight companies participated in the tenders invited by the National Highways Logistics Management Limited (NHLML), Company of the Government of India, which were opened on April 17 and were being technically examined.
