Srinagar: The cable car service in Kashmir’s Gulmarg, which was shut in June following an accident that claimed seven lives, was reopened for public after over a month, officials said.
The Gulmarg Gondola service has been restored and many tourists and locals took rides. Operations for both phases of the cable car have been resumed, Riyaz Ahmad, the general manager of Jammu and Kashmir State Cable Car Corporation said.
There were inspections following which the engineers and technicians gave a go-ahead for the resumption of the services for both the phases, he said.
Four members of a Delhi family and three tourist guides were killed when a cable car came crashing down after a ropeway snapped midair in the ski-resort of Gulmarg on June 25, prompting the Jammu and Kashmir government to order a high-level inquiry.
