Ujjain Cable Car Station Location Disputed
A man named Krishna Kumar Atal wrote a letter to the Chief Minister and the Railway Minister about a planned cable car station in Ujjain.
He thinks the station should not be built outside the train station because it will cause traffic problems and there won't be enough parking.
He suggested building the cable car station somewhere else where there is more space and less traffic.
He hopes the government will think about his ideas before making a final decision.
Krishna Kumar Atal submitted a representation to reconsider the location of the proposed cable car station for the Mahakal Corridor project.
The proposed location outside the Indore Gate entrance of Ujjain Railway Station is believed to be essential for future parking and passenger amenities.
Atal argued that most visitors arriving by train do not go directly to the Mahakal Temple, making the cable car service from the station less useful.
He suggested that the cable car station be developed at a location with sufficient land and lower traffic pressure to avoid congestion and parking issues.
Atal recommended reserving the open space outside the railway station for railway parking, drop-off facilities, and future passenger infrastructure.
