Overview
Situated on the banks of the Upper Lake at Sewaniya Guar, Prempura, Bhadbhada-Van Vihar Road, the project was started with bhumi pujan on 27 May 2008, and it took three years to complete at the cost of ₹103.7 million (US$1.2 million). It was inaugurated on 29 September 2011 by State Chief Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan.[2]
As a part of the project a suspension bridge was also built,[2] which connects Prempura and Sewania. This bridge is built along the lines of the Lachman Jhula in Rishikesh.
