Commuters risk lives to click pictures at Delhi's Signature Bridge

November 10, 2018 13:07

Taking photographs and selfies and posting it on social media has become ubiquitous in the present day. But such activity, many times, has proved fatal.

A similar situation was seen on Signature Bridge, India's first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, located in the capital. Scores of people were seen posing while clinging onto the window panes of cars and playing loud music. A couple of men were also snapped sitting on the suspension cables to get their pictures clicked.

Furthermore, due to the absence of police personnel, commuters were performing dangerous stunts on bikes, thus endangering their lives.

The whole bridge was found littered with waste. While some visitors threw plastic bottles, others discarded footwear on the newly- constructed bridge.

Constructed by the Delhi Tourism and Transportation Development Corporation at a cost of Rs 1, 518.37 crore, the bridge is expected to reduce traffic in Northeast and North Delhi.
