Katra Ropeway Project Faces Backlash, Plans Temporarily Halted
Locals in Katra continue to oppose the proposed ropeway construction to the Vaishno Devi shrine, citing fears of job losses for shopkeepers, pony service providers, and laborers. Protests have led to clashes, with 18 protesters released by the J-K administration. The Lieutenant Governor has formed a committee to review the project, putting plans temporarily on hold.
