Guwahati, Feb 1 (IANS) Assam will
have India's longest cable car along the mighty river Brahmaputra in Guwahati, aimed at creating an alternative mode of communication for people residing on either side of the riverbank.The proposed rope-hauled car will
run from the city's Kacharighat to Dolgobinda in north Guwahati covering a distance of 1.82 km and expected to carry about 250 passengers per hour.'This river ropeway will not only
be an alternative mode of transport for people commuting on a daily basis to and from north Guwahati, but will also be a major tourist attraction,' Guwahati Development Department minister Himanta Biswa Sarma told journalists Thursday.'This is going to be the longest
river ropeway in India.'The estimated cost of the mega
project is pegged at about Rs.300 million and is expected to begin by March.'The completion time is about two
years and we have entrusted Swiss Ropeway Corporation as a foreign consultant for the project,' the minister said. An estimated 3,000 people come to the city daily by boats from north Guwahati.'The cable car would have vertical
open lifts at both ends of the terminal, besides attractive viewpoints,' Sarma said.The project is to be implemented by
the Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) with RITES, a government of India enterprise specialising in consultancy of multi-disciplinary transportation sectors, given the task of supervising the proposed ropeway.That apart, the government is
planning metro rails in Guwahati as part of another mega project. 'This is in an infant stage and we hope to get things moving very soon,' the minister said.
