Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s comments supportive of the ropeway for Chamundi Hills has resurrected a dormant project and riled activists who are opposed to it.
Mr. Siddaramaiah in his remarks at a function organised by the Hotel Owners Association and Charitable Trust on Saturday evening said that he had proposed a ropeway for Chamundi Hills years ago ‘’but was attacked’ by environmentalists’’ and hence it was dropped.
Those among the audience lobbying for the project egged on the Chief Minister to approve the project. In reply, Mr. Siddaramaiah said, ‘’We are prepared provided there was no opposition. So you also convince them (those opposing the project)’’ he added.
