Why is in news? Uttarakhand: Construction of "Bajrang Setu" to be completed by July 2023
In Uttarakhand, Asia's second and country's first cable suspension bridge "Bajrang Setu" is being constructed at Rishikesh. This bridge is coming up next to the famous 90-year-old Laxman Jhula.
Laxman Jhula is closed since last year when it was found that it wasn't safe for pedestrians anymore. However, it will not be removed and will be preserved as a heritage.
Due to this, Tourists and locals started facing problems commuting between Swargashram and Tapovan area. As a result, they had to go via Ramjhula, which is two km from Lakshman Jhula.
