Girnar Ropeway Gets Central Nod

The MoEF has announced formation of a monitoring committee to address environmental concerns, primarily vulture roosting.

The Rs 120-crore ropeway project is expected to give a big boost to tourism, and work, expected to begin within a month, is likely to be completed in two years.

Junagadh Mayor Satish Virda said: “A committee chaired by Union Minister Jairam Ramesh gave a green signal to the project on Monday. Our 16-year-long wait has ended. Not only Junagadh, I think entire Saurashtra is feeling elated." Read the full report here.
