Answer- B
In the presence of Chief Minister Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, the Uttarakhand Tourism Development Board signed a contract with two private construction companies, namely SRM Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. and FIL Industries Pvt. Ltd., to construct a 3.38 km ropeway from Janki Chatti in Kharsali to Yamunotri Dham.
