New Delhi: Waiting for Delhies to enjoy the view of 360 degrees from the capital from the observation deck at the top of the iconic signature bridge pole will be longer.
While the signature bridge opened for traffic almost three years ago in November 2018, a steel and glass observation deck on the bridge pole was completed far later.
With a height of 154 meters, more than twice the height of Qutub Minar, the observation deck offers a view of the national capital panorama.
Pylon has a set of four lifts to bring visitors up, where two are elevators tend to be uniquely designed.
Permission is needed from the Lift Inspector of the Delhi Labor Department for ferry tourists in the elevator, but because this is the first sloping elevator in this country, Tourism Delhi and Transport Development Corporation (DTTDC), a Delhi government institution is executed by the project, cannot obtain permission .
While permission was rejected before, DTTDC once again wrote to the Labor Department in July to allow him to use a sloping elevator to ferry visitors as similar lifts operate in other countries.
However, corporate once again failed to accept a nod from the department, said the source.
When a pole shaped like a boomerang and crooked, the elevator on two legs tilted the pole was also tilted at 60 degrees but with a flat floor.
Pylon has been divided into four levels and DTTDC performs several modifications a few months ago to make changes from the sloping elevator to the more smooth vertical.
Enter the observation deck, every time it opened for visitors, it will be ticketed.
The deck glass is laminated and hardened and can hold wind speeds of up to 86 miles per hour.
However, with DTTDC cannot accept safety nod, it is not clear what the next step is.
In addition to being an important liaison between Northeast Delhi and the whole city since it opened in 2018, a typical bridge was also a favorite place for Delhies to click Selfie.
That is why DTTDC develops areas as tourist attractions too.
Last year in July, DTTDC had used advanced technology to provide aesthetic theme-based lighting on the bridge, with separate focus lights on the cable.
Special roads that will ferry tourists from the approach to the main deck bridge are almost ready and there will also be small parking facilities, cafes and toilets near the approach area.
