The Hindu
It was originally mooted during Karunanidhi’s regime, says Minister
The State government will revive a proposal on establishing a rope car at Rockfort Thayumanaswamy Temple in Tiruchi, according to P.K. Sekar Babu, Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE). Speaking to reporters after climbing the hillock along with School Education Minister Anbil Mahesh Poyyamozhi on Wednesday, Mr. Sekar Babu said the proposal was originally mooted during former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi’s regime. However, it did not make headway in the subsequent regime. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin was committed to establishing a rope car facility at the temple as early as possible. A fresh study would be carried out to explore the possibility for installing the facility so as to support elderly people to reach the temple situated atop the hillock. It would also be a boon to the tourism sector.
