Foundation stone for an escalator at the renowned Jakhu temple was laid by Urban Development Minister Suresh Bhardwaj on Saturday. Being built at a cost of Rs 7.94 crore, the escalator is likely to be ready within six months and provide easy access to lakhs of devotees visiting the historic Hanuman temple at Jakhu, the highest mountain peak in Shimla city. The escalator is being installed under the 'Shimla Smart City Mission'.
