Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Varanasi and Kedarnath on a two-day visit on October 24 and 25. He is expected to participate in industrial programs, public events, and development-related activities during this period.
The ropeway project will be a boon to the pilgrims visiting Kedarnath as it would provide environment-friendly, comfortable, fast connectivity and reduce travel time in one direction from about 8 to 9 hours to about 36 minutes, the statement said.
