Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, has promised additional ropeways, a cable railway system, and clean energy projects for the state of Himachal Pradesh, which is up for election. There is a need for tunnel projects, ropeways, and funicular train systems. He stated that if the mountains could be connected through the electric transport system, this will ease travel and improve connectivity. To that extent, ropeway, cable car, and funicular railway projects have been launched in the Leh and Ladakh regions. The minister reportedly called them new-age projects that can solve the mountain connectivity problem in the Sub-Himalayan range.
