The central team was carried out by the Inspectorate in Sannidhanam, Marakkoott and Pampa Hilltop on Friday and Saturday in connection with the proposed Sabarimala Ropeway project.
The survey dealt with places for the installation of the tower, forest areas along the route and trees scheduled for complete or partial felling. The final approval of the project will be awarded on the basis of a report submitted by the team. Official sources said the team would probably submit their report on October 15.
