Ser Jagas Paragliding: Paradise Lost? Infrastructure Woes Choke Himachal Hotspot
Ser Jagas, a renowned paragliding site in Himachal Pradesh, is grappling with a severe infrastructure deficit, despite its recognition as a prime location for over two decades. The picturesque site, once a magnet for adventure enthusiasts, is witnessing a decline in activity.
Funds were allocated years ago for crucial development projects, including the construction of a much-needed access road. However, these initiatives remain stalled due to a frustrating lack of further funding and shifting governmental priorities.
This neglect has severely hampered the growth of tourism in the area, impacting local livelihoods dependent on the paragliding industry. Businesses are struggling, and the once vibrant site is losing its allure.
The situation highlights a critical need for the Himachal Pradesh government to prioritize infrastructure development in such vital tourism hubs. Failure to address this issue risks not only the economic well-being of the local community but also the loss of a significant natural asset for the state. Immediate action is crucial to revive Ser Jagas’s potential and prevent further decline.
