Title : Need to construct a ropeway in Senji Hills, a famous tourist attraction in Tamil Nadu.
SHRI M. KRISHNASSWAMY (ARANI): The Senji Hills in Tamil Nadu is a unique tourist attraction being visited by number of tourists and is situated on both sides of the National Highway passing through this site.
There are two forts on the Hills one on each side of the Hills. These forts were constructed and developed in the 17th century by Raja Desingh who hailed from North India and came to rule this part of Tamil Nadu. The visitors to these two Forts named as King’s Palace and Queen’s Palace Climb the Hills to see the palaces. It is maintained by the Archeological Survey of India. If the ropeway is constructed across the two Hills the tourists from all over the country will be more attracted to see the Hill Palaces.
A proposal for this is already pending approval and if the Government of India persuades the State Government then this project will see the light of the day for the benefit of the tourists visiting Tamil Nadu.
