The Union Cabinet has approved transfer of 1500 square metres of land belonging to Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) at Mussoorie to Uttarakhand for ‘Aerial Passenger Ropeway System’ between Dehradun and Mussoorie.
- The proposed Ropeway is a mono-cable ropeway of 5580 meters length under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode between Purkul Gaon, Dehradun (Lower Terminal Station) and Library, Mussoorie (Upper Terminal Station).
- The ropeway is being constructed at an estimated cost of Rs.285 crore with a carrying capacity of 1000 persons per hour per direction.
- This will considerably reduce the traffic flow on road route from Dehradun to Mussoorie.
