Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday lauded the Union Cabinet's decisions approving the construction of ropeway projects to Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib shrines and said these initiatives will help devotees complete their journey comfortably in far less time.
The ropeway project will be a boon to the pilgrims visiting Kedarnath as it would provide an environment-friendly, comfortable and fast connectivity and reduce travel time in one direction from about 8 to 9 hours to about 36 minutes.
