India’s 1st glass floor suspension bridge to be built in Rishikesh

The Uttarakhand Government has approved the design of a glass floor suspension bridge, the first of its kind in the country to have a floor made of toughened transparent glass. This bridge will be built across the River Ganga in Rishikesh. The bridge is as an alternative to the iconic Lakshman Jhula, almost 94 years old, which was closed in 2019 due to safety reasons. The bridge design has been prepared by the Public Works Department (PWD).

Important takeaways for all competitive exams:

  • Uttarakhand Chief Minister: Trivendra Singh Rawat; Governor: Baby Rani Maurya.
