A new four-lane road would be constructed from airport to Super Corridor. The proposal has already been given approval in the planning of the district for the year 2014-15.
The State Planning Commission has also given its special approval for this ambitious road which once completed will give a direct connectivity to the IT companies, corporate houses, townships coming up on the Super Corridor to the airport.
This was informed in a meeting of the senior district and airport officials which had especially been convened to discuss issues related to development of the city airport.
Issues related to development of runway and the roads on the airport were also discussed and accordingly it was decided to carry out development of runway and road on the airport towards farmland, instead towards the area being inhabited by the people. District collector Akash Tripathi directed tehsilar, revenue inspector as well as patwari and other members of the revenue department to make survey of the land adjoining the airport to carry out new dev elopement works.
Besides collector, the meeting was attended by the IMC commissioner Rakesh Singh, SP (west) Anil Kushwaha, superintending engineer of the PWD, airport director and other senior district officials. In another meeting of the Bus Stand Vigilance Committee, decision was taken for facelift of the Sarwate and Gangbal bus stands and equip them with more amenities for the convenience of passengers. Chairing the meeting, collector Tripathi instructed officials concerned for the cleanliness, security, provision of potable water and electronic display board at the bus stand for the convenience of commuters.
As decided in the meeting reconstruction of Sarwate bus stand will be carried out on the PPP Model. Decision was also taken to develop Sarwate bus stand at pick-up terminal and develop an internal pathway for its connectivity with the railway station. Taking a serious note of the non-payment of parking fees by the private bus operators on both Sarwate and Gangwal bus stands, collector directed officials concerned to ensure all the bus operators who operate their buses from both the stands, start making payment of their parking fees within a fortnight.
