Varanasi to have ropeways to ease road congestion

Varanasi: Varanasi is finally on its way to become a smart city. Work has begun for improving public transport system. As metro and mono rail are unfeasible here due to narrow roads, the proposal for ropeways is taking shape. Survey has begun on three routes for ropeway and in a meeting held by Commissioner Deepak Agarwal, it was decided that RITES (Rail India Technical and Economic Service) and engineering consultancy company specializing in the field of transport infrastructure would supervise the project. The first proposed route of the ropeway would be Shivpur to Sigra and Lanka while the second route would be from Kuccheri to Lahurabir, Maidagin and Gudauliya. The third route would be from Lahartara to Banaras Hindu University. (IANS)
