Jammu, Sep 4 (EFE/EPA).- The world's highest railway bridge is being built across the Chenab River in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district. The bridge is likely to be completed by August 2022. The total length of the rail bridge is 1.3 km and it can withstand an earthquake measuring more than 7 on the Richter scale. The bridge will connect the Kashmir valley with Katra in Jammu and the rest of the country. It will also reduce the journey time by 5-6 hours from Katra to Srinagar.

This glass-bottomed pool, which is attached to the ninth story of a hotel in China, offers scenic views of the terrifying drop below and is believed to be the highest altitude pool with a glass bottom in the world. Brave bathers can take a dip in the frightening see-through pool at the Wanfu hot spring hotel in Zhangjiajie. The 2 foot deep and six and a half feet wide dipping pool hangs off the side of the nine-story steel structure of the hotel and overlooks the verdant Hunan hills.
What would you do if the government removed all $100 and $50 bills from circulation? That's basically exactly what happened in India after the Indian government decided to remove the 1,000 and 500 rupee note from circulation last Tuesday, and millions of people lined up at banks to exchange their now worthless paper for legal currency. Footage from Bangalore shows the chaos at banks across India on Saturday, as millions of people queued up for hours to change old currency notes that became worthless days earlier. Long lines formed outside the banks and scuffles broke out after some ATMs ran out of cash. More than half of India's 220,000 ATMs were not ready to dispense the new bills. On Tuesday, November 8, the same day as the US presidential election, India's government made a surprise announcement that all 500- and 1,000-rupee notes were being taken out of circulation and had no cash value, in an effort to tackle corruption and tax evasion, causing a rush to the banks to swap the old, now defunct notes.
China has recently completed the world’s highest and longest glass bridge, giving the country another thrilling and scary tourist attraction.
