The opposition to the ropeway to Chamundi Hills proposed in the State Budget, is set to further intensify as NGOs intend to co-opt the cultural and heritage elements of the place and underline the imperatives of its conservation.
The project has been proposed under Parvata Mala scheme but the voices against it are getting louder by the day.
The members of Chamundi Betta Ulisi Horata Samithi or Save Chamundi Hills Action Committee, met on Tuesday – second time in the last one week – and have decided to broaden the support base for their protest. They will also try to co-opt members of various political parties and try to infuse sensitivity in them about the imperatives of safeguarding Chamundi Hills and its environment.
