The second phase of the operation is expected to start soon.

Rakesh Bhat, project manager, Jammu Ropeway told ANI that this project will boost tourism and increase the economic activity here.

Speaking to ANI, Bhat said, "We started this service on October 3. It is a nice initiative to boost tourism and the economy of Jammu. Easing of lockdown has also helped in the operations as now people have started to come in bulk. Till now around 600 people have taken this service and they like it very much."

"We have been taking all the precautionary measures related to COVID-19. We are providing sanitisers to the people and allowing only three people in one cart despite its capacity to carry at least six people. This is the first phase and the second will be coming soon," Bhat added.

Locals have appreciated the start of the project.
