Land Acquisition Begins for Nandi Hills Ropeway Project
Imagine you want to visit a beautiful hill called Nandi Hills.
Now, people are building a special cable car, called a ropeway, to take you up the hill!
The government is starting to buy the land needed for the bottom part of the ride and the path it will take.
They already got permission to use the top of the hill.
This ropeway will make it faster and easier to get to Nandi Hills, which is a popular spot.
It will also help with the traffic.
The project is being done by a private company, costing about 93.4 crore rupees, and they will run it for 30 years.
It was supposed to start earlier, but now things are moving forward!
Land acquisition has commenced for the Nandi Hills ropeway project.
Approximately four acres of land are being acquired for the lower terminal and corridor.
The lower terminal will be in Madaku Hosahalli village, near the Kanive Basaveshwara Swamy temple.
A private firm will construct and operate the ropeway for 30 years under the DBFOT model.
The ropeway aims to reduce traffic congestion and enhance the tourist experience.
