5. (2) and take decision thereon.
6. (4) The draft of the proposed licence shall contain such details of the proposed ropeway as may be prescribed.

1. (1) If, after considering any objections or suggestions, which may have been made in respect to the draft before the expiry of the period specified in sub-section

3. (2) The Promoter can undertake all preparatory activities including tendering and onboarding of contractors but shall have to obtain a licence under this section before the commencement of construction.
4. (3) Every licence authorising the construction of a ropeway granted under sub-section
