Jharkhand is set to become the third state in India to build glass bridges and skywalks, a first for the state. The project will be implemented at three major tourist spots in the state, including Dassam Falls and Hundru Falls in Ranchi district, and Magnolia Point and Koel View Point in Netarhat. The glass bridges will be built along the lines of the one constructed in Bihar’s Rajgir, and the tourism department has ensured that sufficient land is available for the project.
Separately, Jharkhand Assembly Speaker Rabindra Nath Mahato has called for a new law to regulate the fee structure of private schools in the state. This comes after Hazaribagh MLA Pradip Prasad raised concerns about the unregulated fee structure, which he believes is leading to financial burdens on parents. Education Minister Ramdas Soren stated that various committees already exist to oversee the fee structure, but Mahato suggested that a fresh law could be considered to ensure that private schools operate within reasonable bounds.
The decision to build glass bridges and skywalks in Jharkhand is part of an effort to attract more tourists to the state and boost its tourism industry. The move is likely to improve the overall infrastructure and make the state more attractive to visitors. On the other hand, the proposal to regulate private school fees is aimed at ensuring that parents are not unfairly burdened with high fees, which can be a significant financial strain. Both initiatives highlight the state’s efforts to improve its infrastructure and ensure that its residents and visitors have a better experience.
