The cable car has been built to take pilgrims to the top of the hill throughout the year, which was otherwise difficult due to the steep climbing angle and lack of a road to the top of the hill.

Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren said: "I have been reviewing the situation since yesterday. We have sought help from NDRF, IAF, experts, commandos... Rescue efforts underway since early this morning".
