Cable car project across Ghat Road back on track
The Hindu
‘The 3,670-metre ropeway project will be the longest in south India on completion’
The multi-crore cable car project proposed by the Wayanad Chamber of Commerce (WCC) across the Thamarassery Ghat Road is back on track, with Western Ghats Development Limited (WGDL), formed by stakeholders, having cleared all technical hurdles. A final review meeting and an adalat chaired by senior Revenue officials for those who own property near the project area will be held soon as part of preparations to launch the base station work at Adivaram in Kozhikode district. Global tenders will be floated for major civil engineering works, including the construction of towers, base and upper stations, drive unit, and cable works. The implementation of the project, which was proposed in 2017, had been pending for three years following an unexpected change in the first alignment. The main reason for the delay was legal disputes over property initially purchased for the construction of the upper station at Lakkidi. While resolving it, the WGDL team was also compelled to change the first alignment completely and repeat all the technical procedures for approval.
