Former Minister and BJP MP representing Chamarajanagar Lok Sabha constituency V. Srinivas Prasad on Sunday joined the chorus against ropeway to Chamundi Hills.
Speaking to reporters in Mysuru, Mr. Prasad said any move to construct a ropeway posed a threat to Chamundi Hills and the environment.
Expressing his disapproval, Mr. Prasad said that ropeways were built only in valleys that are unsuitable for vehicular movement. “What is the need for a ropeway when one can reach the hill-top in 20 minutes?,” he questioned.
