While speaking to G Plus, the Chief Public Relations Officer of the Northeast Frontier Railway, Sabyasachi De said, “The project has been planned and proposed to the Kamakhya Temple Authorities and we are now waiting for the approval of the temple authorities on the land acquisition since one of the pylons would be placed there. Once we get a nod from them the pylon will be placed and the construction of the ropeway station will start and hopefully, will be completed in a year’s time.”
Earlier this year, on February 13, Assam Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma asked the Kamrup Metropolitan District Administration to provide a No Objection Certificate (NOC) to the Railways to undertake the project.
