Cabinet approves Kedarnath ropeway project, slashing travel time from 8-9 hours to 36 minutes
Wednesday, 5 March 2025 The Union cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib ropeway projects with a substantial financial outlay. The Kedarnath ropeway will connect Sonprayag to Kedarnath, significantly reducing travel time for pilgrims, while creating employment opportunities and boosting tourism industries in the region.
Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand continues as yet another Kedarnath-bound chopper crash-lands near Badasu. This marks the fourth helicopter safety crisis on the Char Dham route in 30 days. The AW119 aircraft suffered a tail rotor failure and made an emergency landing on a road, narrowly avoiding a major disaster. Although no fatalities occurred, Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand raises serious questions about maintenance checks, pilot training, and aviation regulations in India’s high-altitude pilgrimage zones. Authorities are investigating the Chopper Crash in Uttarakhand, but the recurring nature of these accidents indicates a deepening helicopter safety crisis that can no longer be ignored. Experts urge immediate reforms to avert more tragedies.
