Vaishno Devi ropeway row: Two detained in fresh protest, FIR against eight

Katra/Jammu: Two representatives of labourers and shopkeepers in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district were on Wednesday detained after fresh protests at the Katra base camp against a proposed ropeway project along the trek route to the Vaishno Devi shrine. Protestors, led by Bhupinder Singh and Sohan Chand, took out a rally against the proposed ropeway project. Station house officer Katra and other on-duty officials sustained injuries in the Monday clash and were shifted to community health centre Katra for medical treatment, it said. Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday said the genuine concerns of the people protesting against the proposed ropeway project would be addressed.
