The Assam state cabinet has given its green light to five new ropeway projects that will link the regions of Kamakhya and Jatinga, aiming to boost connectivity and tourism in the area.
The Assam cabinet has formally approved the construction of five new ropeway projects that will connect the areas of Kamakhya and Jatinga. The decision was announced in a meeting of the state’s executive council, where officials highlighted the potential benefits for local communities and tourism.
The ropeways are expected to provide a faster and more scenic route between the two regions, reducing travel time and easing access for residents and visitors. The projects are part of a broader effort to improve infrastructure in the northeastern part of India.
While details such as the exact routes, timelines, and funding mechanisms have not yet been disclosed, the cabinet’s approval marks a significant step toward enhancing mobility in Assam’s hilly terrain.
Officials said that the projects will also create employment opportunities during construction and operation phases. The government plans to collaborate with private partners and local authorities to ensure the projects meet safety and environmental standards.
The approval comes amid growing interest in developing sustainable transport solutions in the region, and the ropeways are expected to serve as a model for similar initiatives across the state.
