About flying restaurant:

  • Manali is now boasting about having a flying restaurant. The newly opened restaurant will not only offer you the best dining experience, but will also allow you to ‘fly’. At a height of more than 160 feet, the restaurant is suspended in the air with the help of a crane. It has become an instant success for locals and tourists alike.

Topic: Local Administration

 

Importance: Himachal HPAS Prelims and Mains

 

What is the news?

  • Nurpur shall be the police district.

 

Important Point:

  • Nurpur of Kangra district will henceforth be the second police district after Baddi. An SP rank officer will be posted to the Nurpur Police District.

 

Reason:

  • A case for the police district status for Nurpur on the plea that the area faced the issue of drug trade and was bordering Pathankot district of Punjab.

 

About Police District:

  • The police district is a type of division of a geographical area patrolled by a police force.
  • The determination of the geographical area of a police district necessarily depends on different circumstances.
  • Physical characteristics sometimes have to be taken into account as affecting the demarcations of relationships, more frequently the occupations of the people and the number of the population. A district may be too small or too large for police requirements.
