A 72-hour protest against the Vaishno Devi Ropeway Project began in Jammu and Kashmir’s Katra on Wednesday. The protesting people alleged that the protest was being conducted peacefully, but the police resorted to lathi charge. Former Congress minister Jugal Sharma also came in support of the protesters.
Actually, Vaishno Devi Shrine Board is constructing a ropeway at a cost of Rs 250 crore on a 12 kilometer route between Tarakot Marg and Sanjhi Chhat in Katra for the devotees to visit the temple. Till now, only mules and palanquins take the devotees coming to Vaishno Devi to visit the temple. This is their source of income. That’s why they are opposing the ropeway project.
