All this and more as you will soon be able to catch a glimpse of the breathtaking view of your favourite city/tourist destination below. For this, the Yogi government has prepared a complete action plan.
Through a Public-Private Partner (PPP) mode, heliport services will be available in Agra and Mathura in the next six months. In the next two years, the Yogi government aims to start heliport service in Lucknow, the holy city of Prayagraj, the state capital- the city of Nawabs. The divine and grand Kumbh this time will also be available for viewing from the heliport service.
Radha-Krishna’s Brajbhoomi will be able to see from the ropeway in six months. Ropeway service has already been started to show the natural beauty of Vindhya and Chitrakoot from the sky itself. Operation of Ashtabhuja and Kalikhoh ropeway in Vindhyachal from August last year and operation of Chitrakoot ropeway has started from September 2019.
In the next six months, the ropeway of Barsana will also be started in Mathura for you to visit Radha-Krishna and Braj Bhoomi, the playground of Krishna and Gwal-Bal. The tourism department has set a target of starting the construction of a new ropeway from Jhunsi to Triveni Pushp in Prayagraj in two years. A few days ago, during the presentation before the Council of Ministers, the tourism department set a target for itself for 100 days, two- and five years to get all these things done.
“Tourism is the most effective way to strengthen the brand UP in the country and the world and increase employment and revenue at the local level. Being a very rich heritage in every respect, the tourism sector in Uttar Pradesh has immense potential. It is the intention of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that on the basis of its rich heritage, the state should be made the favourite tourist destination of the country and the world. The department is working with the same intention,” Mukesh Meshram – Principal Secretary of Tourism informed.
