"During allotment of the project, the funding agency- Tourism Department had fixed two year time for its completion but the apathy of BJP government towards Jammu hampered work on the project", said sources.
They further said that in the month of March , Minister of State of Tourism, Priya Sethi had inaugurated a partially complete project by taking ride from Bahu to Mahamaya Temple. An assurance to throw the ropeway open shortly was also given. But three months on, the project awaits completion.
