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.

According to police, an FIR was registered against eight people on Tuesday, a day after violent protests in Katra in which a policeman got injured.

Protestors, led by Bhupinder Singh and Sohan Chand, took out a rally against the proposed ropeway project.
