According to 2014's India Today article Kolkata will soon have its 'Kolkata Eye' modelled on the 'London Eye', a giant ferris wheel, providing a magnificent view of the metropolis from a height of 120 meter.
The 'Kolkata Eye' will be constructed at Millennium Park on the bank of the River Hooghly, Urban Development ministry sources told PTI.
The contract was awarded to a UK-based company for the construction of the 'Kolkata Eye' for Rs 300 crore, the sources said.
It would have 36 air-conditioned capsules which would rotate slowly affording a wonderful view of the skyline.
The London Eye, standing 135 metre tall on the south bank of the River Thames in London was erected in 1999.
After that there was not much news on that suddenly during 2018 news came. According to The Times of India article The road map for chief minister Mamata Banerjee's dream project 'Kolkata Eye' a replication of the famous 'London Eye' has been finalized and is likely to be ready by 2020.
