A bandh was observed in Katra town to protest against the proposed Vaishno Devi ropeway project. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board has decided to come up with a ₹250-crore ropeway project between Tarakote and Sanji Chhat for the convenience of elderly and specially abled pilgrims for which the bhoomi pujan has been performed recently. SMVDSB chief executive officer says the Board will hold meeting with the locals to address their concerns.
