Flagstaff Tower

Flagstaff Tower is a one-room, castellated tower, built around 1828 as a signal tower, located in Kamla Nehru Ridge near the present-day North Campus of Delhi University in Delhi, India. It was here that many Europeans and their families sheltered on 11 May 1857, during the Siege of Delhi by the rebels at the beginning of the Indian rebellion of that year, waiting for help to arrive from nearby Meerut. Built by the British Indian Army, the building was part of the British cantonment and was used as a signal tower. Before forestation started in 1910, the area where the tower was built was the highest point on the ridge and was mostly barren, covered with low-lying shrub. Today it is a memorial and "protected monument" under Archaeological Survey of India. The monument is still preserved and in very good condition. This cemetery, where the few British who fell during the uprising are buried with their leader, Brigadier John Nicholson, is now that well preserved that a Britain's High Commissioner, Mr. Michael Arthur, who once helped in the restoration and repairing of the cemetery thought that it surpassed many of the cemeteries in Britain, with its beautiful glimpse of the history of the year 1857. History Flagstaff Tower played an important role during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, when Delhi was captured by the rebellious East India Company forces. On the morning of 11 May 1857, when the sepoys started hunting for and killing European personnel and Christian Indians in the Cantonment, Civil Lines and the walled city of Delhi, the survivors started fleeing towards the Tower. A month later the Company army returned to capture Delhi, which was now with the sepoys. On 7 June, they faced stiff resistance from the sepoys at the Flagstaff Tower. A fierce battle followed which led to the killing and wounding of a great number of soldiers. However, by five in the evening the ridge had been recaptured and was now under British control. Architecture Inside the tower, which is locked, there is a circular room that can hold a crowd of up to a hundred people. It resembles a mini fort but not that safe. In recent times some parts of the tower have been ruined due to people having scribbled on its wall. Before forestation in the year 1910, the area where the tower was built was the point on the ridge and was mostly barren and covered with small-sized shrubs.

ГЕС Сева II

ГЕС Сева II – гідроелектростанція на північному заході Індії у штаті Джамму та Кашмір. Використовує ресурс із річки Сева, правої притоки Раві, яка в свою чергу є лівою притокою Чинабу (впадає праворуч до Сатледжу, найбільшого лівого допливу Інду). В межах проекту річку перекрили бетонною арково-гравітаційною греблею висотою 53 метрів та довжиною 112 метрів, яка потребувала 132 тис м3 матеріалу. На час будівництва воду відвели за допомогою тунелю довжиною 0,3 км з діаметром 6 метрів. Гребля утворила водосховище з площею поверхні 0,43 км2 та об'ємом 6,7 млн м3 (корисний об’єм 4,4 млн м3). Зі сховища під правобережним гірським масивом прокладено дериваційний тунель довжиною 10,1 км з діаметром 3,3 метра, який транспортує ресурс до машинного залу, розташовfного за 24 км нижче по течії від греблі. Основне обладнання станції становлять три турбіни типу Пелтон потужністю по 40 МВт, які працюють при напорі у 560 метрів та забезпечують виробництво 534 млн кВт-год електроенергії на рік. Видача продукції відбувається по ЛЕП, розрахованій на роботу під напругою 132 кВ. Примітки
Signature Bridge

The Signature Bridge is a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge which spans the Yamuna river at Shourya section, connecting Wazirabad to East Delhi. It is India's first asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge. The pylon of the Signature bridge is the tallest structure in Delhi and is double the height of Qutub Minar with its 154-metre high viewing box, which is a location where visitors take selfies. It shortens the travel time between north and northeast Delhi. Background and History In 1997, 28 school students died in an accident on the narrow Wazirabad bridge when their bus plunged into the river. Since then, the Delhi government had plans to build another parallel wide bridge nearby to alleviate traffic congestion. By the end of 1998, the Delhi government finalised the draft plan for this bridge. However, construction of the bridge was delayed due to multiple reasons, mainly lack of manpower and financial difficulties. When the project started, its final cost was Rs. 1518.37 crore The Delhi government was financially restricted and it was very difficult for it to fund the extra rising budget. Work finally started in 2010. A fresh deadline of end 2016 was set in 2013. The bridge was finally inaugurated on 4 November 2018 by the then Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal after a number of delays. Details The bridge is a Cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge, a type of Cable-stayed bridge in which cables are in a combination of radial and semi-harp arrangement; cables are spaced apart on the pylon, like the harp design, but connected to one point or a number of closely spaced points on the deck. The dynamically shaped pylon consists of 2 inclined columns, which are rigidly connected to the driving lanes and bend mid-way. The upper portion of the pylon anchors the back-stay cables as well as the main-span cables and the self-weight of the pylon balances out the self-weight of the superstructure through the eccentric location of its center of gravity with respect to the pivot point of the pylon footing, reducing the load on back-stay cables which are fewer in number converged from the main-span cables. The bridge is 675 meters long and 35.2 meters wide. Built on the Yamuna river, this bridge connects east Delhi to Wazirabad. Tourists can be transported to the top of the main pillar, which is 154 m high, from where distant views of North Delhi can be seen.
