Hello, I had recently read about road expansion plans along the famous Dal Lake in Srinagar, J&k, India. I don’t think it is the best solution to the ever growing vehicular traffic problems. Kashmir’s ecology is very sensitive, it is already negatively effected from existing fossils fuel pollution and growing it will only make matters worse. Not just for Kashmir but all other neighboring regions. I know mass transit is an option but land scarcity around the lake makes elevated transit system a better option. It can actually be picturesque if designed and executed properly. This brought me to your web page. I recall reading about you sometime back and thought to make contact with you. I am pitching this idea to our government as a concerned citizen. I thought if you could provide me with some info that I can share with them.
Hi Safdar. Feel free to use the materials used on the website. We only ask that you reference and cite the materials to the appropriate author, whether it’s from us or another party. A cable car system could definitely be a useful technology to help address the transport challenges in Dal Lake. Let us know if you have any further questions.
