The much-awaited Signature Bridge, a dream project of former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, will be thrown open to the public by the Aam Aadmi Party government by March next year, the www.economictimes.com website reported.

Delhi Toursim Minister Jitender Singh Tomar, who today visited the construction site of Signature Bridge, said that the government has decided to develop a new tourist hub below the bridge.

The construction work of Signature Bridge will be completed by March, 2016. We are developing new facilities at the bridge like installation of LED lights and some restaurants so that people can be attracted,” Tomar said here.

The bridge, however, has missed several deadlines, but government has strictly directed its officials to complete its construction works by March next years.

“We will develop water and sports facilities under the bridge. The bridge will prove one of the best Signature Bridges in the world,” the minister said.

The Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation (DTTDC) is constructing bridge, which is 675 metres long.

According to the officials, it has a bow shaped steel pylon of about 154 m height, having 15 pairs of cable stays on one side and four pairs of back stays on the other side.

The bridge has a concrete-steel composite deck 35.20 m wide.

“The Signature Bridge will be an example of aesthetic elegance and would be made into a favourable tourist destination in Delhi,” said Ramesh Tiwari, MD & CEO, Delhi Tourism.

The Construction of Signature Bridge and its approaches amounting to Rs 1131 crores was accorded to the Government of Delhi during the year 2010.

Denne plakaten på Londons undergrunnsstasjoner, har skapt kaos, og ført til svært mange protester, skriver www.nettavisen.no

Plakaten, som viser en kvinne i gul bikini, spør de forbipasserende om de er strandkropp-klare.

Transportselskapet i den britiske hovedstaden sier til The Guardian at plakaten – som reklamerer for slankeproduktet Protein World – ikke bryter reglene for reklameplakater på t-banestasjonene. Likevel blir de fjernet  – etter store protester. Onsdag fjernes plakatene fordi ukeskontrakten med Protein World går ut.

– Det er en naturlig avslutning, sier en talsmann for transportselskapet, til The Guardian.

Over 200 personer har klaget plakaten inn til et organ som vurderer reklameinnhold. De skal nå ta standpunkt til om den er fornærmende, uansvarlig og skadelig fordi den promoterer et usunt kroppsideal. 

På Facebook planlegges det nå en protest i Hyde Park på lørdag. Og over 50.000 har skrevet under en underskriftskampanje på nett, hvor de krever at Protein World skal ta ned plakatene.

Protestene er også å se under emneknaggen #everybodysready i sosiale medier.

I etterkant av protestene skal sjefen for Protein World sammenlignet feministene bak protestene med terrorister, skriver Nettavisen.

Et opplevelseshotell kan være så mangt, og i Nederlands hovedstad Amsterdam kan man nå overnatte i en kran i byens travle havn, skriver Se og Hør.

Hotellet, som heter Faralda NDSM Crane Hotel Amsterdam, har tre “suiter” med 360 graders utsikt og boblebad på toppen. Rommene henger høyt til værs, og prisene er også høye – 485 euro per natt (4075 kroner) men så er det da også en høytsvevende og helt unik erfaring.

A World Happiness Report has listed Switzerland as the happiest country in the world among 158 countries worldwide.

The report, produced by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), contains analysis from leading experts in the fields of economics, neuroscience, national statistics, and describes how measurements of subjective well-being can be used to assess national progress effectively.

The report identifies Switzerland as the happiest country in the world followed by Iceland, Denmark, Norway and Canada.

Professor John F Helliwell, of the University of British Columbia, said that as the science of happiness advances, they were getting to the heart of what factors define quality of life for citizens and they were encouraged that more and more governments around the world were listening and responding with policies that put well-being first.

The World Happiness Report 2015 shows that at both the individual and national levels, all measures of well-being, including emotions and life evaluations, are strongly influenced by the quality of the surrounding social norms and institutions. These include family and friendships at the individual level, the presence of trust and empathy at the neighbourhood and community levels, and power and quality of the over-arching social norms that determine the quality of life within and among nations and generations.
