AC approves major tourist attractions in Jammu
SRINAGAR: The Jammu Ropeway Project's Peerkho Station's installation of a vertical lift to the Mubarak Mandi Heritage Complex received administrative sanction from the Administrative Council (AC), which convened here under the chairmanship of the Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha. The anticipated cost to construct the project is 27.00 crores. The meeting was attended by Dr. Mandeep Kumar Bhandari, IAS Principal Secretary to the Hon'ble Lieutenant Governor, Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar, Advisor to the Lieutenant Governor, Dr. Arun Kumar Mehta, Chief Secretary, J&K, and Dr. Arun Kumar Bhatnagar.A complete tourist/pilgrim circuit will be created by installing the vertical lift, which will connect the Mubarak Mandi Heritage Complex with the Peerkho Station of the Jammu Ropeway Project and other tourist/pilgrim locations. Tourists and pilgrims visiting surrounding attractions including the Jammu Ropeway Project, Peerkho Temple, Mahamaya Temple, Bahu Fort, Bagh-e-Bahu, and Bhawe Mata Ji Temple will find the circuit to be of great convenience. The lift would make it simple for visitors to travel from Jammu District's Mubarak Mandi Complex to the other three Pracheen temples and other tourist-related locations. Additionally, it will draw tourists to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine and offer them a full religious circuit. The project will increase pilgrim and heritage tourism, increase Jammu Ropeway Project revenue, and create employment possibilities. Two footbridges with a span of 34 and 30 metres each will connect the project's two components, each of which has a vertical rise of 38 and 30 metres. A Base Station, an Intermediate Station, an Upper Station, and accommodations in the capsule style with expansive views will all be included in the project. Additionally, parking will be accessible at the Intermediate Station. [caption id="attachment_2746" align="alignnone" width="300"] AC approves major tourist attractions in Jammu[/caption]
