Chandigarh, Aug 10 (UNI) Punjab Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu today said that the decks have been cleared for the immensely significant project of the ropeway connecting the birthplace of the Khalsa Sri Anandpur Sahib and Mata Naina Devi.
"Once commenced the project would prove to be a milestone in not only boosting tourism sector in both Punjab and Himachal Pradesh but would also be an epitome of strengthening the Hindu-Sikh bond,” Mr Sidhu said after a meeting with Himachal Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary (Culture & Tourism) Ram Subhag Singh here to revive the ropeway project.
The Minister said that earlier the MoU between both the states was signed but was shelved in 2014 which is now set to be revived as directed by Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh to the Tourism and Cultural Affairs Minister. He also divulged that the MoU would be inked during this month itself which in turn would accelerate the pace of the project.
