New Airport @ Meerut or Jewar: Ajit Singh Becomes Aviation Minister

Update: 19 Dec 2011

International Airport at Meerut (in all likelihood)

The new Aviation Minister seems to have decided that Meerut is his choice for an international airport. During discussions with his party leaders on 18 Dec 11, he assured that the international flights will start from Meerut. However, since the matter is related to UP govt, it will not be possible for the Central Aviation Minister to do anything for some time (until they have a govt in the state). Keep tuned for more
अन्तरराष्ट्रीय हवाई उड़ान अब मेरठ से भी

मेरठ।। नव नियुक्त केन्द्रीय नागरिक उड्डयन मंत्री चौधरी अजित सिंह ने कहा है की मेरठ से अन्तरराष्ट्रीय हवाई उड़ान भरी जायेगी। उप्र नागरिक उड्डयन विभाग के निदेशक देवेन्द्र स्वरूप से जब इस बाबत बात हुई तो उन्होंने कहा कि जेवर में अन्तरराष्ट्रीय एयरपोर्ट का प्रोजेक्ट तैयार है।

दो हजार हेक्टेयर वाले इस प्रोजेक्ट में एनओसी के लिए केन्द्रीय नागरिक उड्डयन मंत्रालय से अनुमति मांगी है। पर अभी तक वहां से अनुमति नही मिली है। मेरठ समेत 16 स्थानों पर हवाई पट्टी भी हैं। ऐसे में यदि केन्द्र सरकार जेवर अन्तरराष्ट्रीय एयरपोर्ट के लिए हरी झंडी देती है तो दिल्ली हवाई अड्डे का लोड कम होगा। Read more…

Harit Pradesh (Paschhimanchal) – Wah! Taj of Indian States

Lucknow is set to lose its political power as 3 new districts are set to gain all important power: Meerut (Harit Pradesh), Varanasi (Poorvanchal) and Jhansi (Bundelkhand) as plans unfold for trifurcation of Uttar Pradesh in 3 more states. The maximum power would flow to Meerut (Harit Pradesh) as it contributes about 72% of total income of undivided UP but gets allocation of only 18%. Presently, UP has the second largest economy ($400 billion based on PPP and $109 billion nominal) in India after Maharashtra, 72% of this would would take the new state economy sixth only behind Mah, AP, TN, Guj and, WB (StatesGDP-Link). While more details emerge, the upcoming Harit Pradesh would rise from ashes and would be ready to take on the best of the Indian states on each parameter of development and tourism (Agra Taj, Mathura, F1 and Yamuna Expressway are only a trailor- story abhi baki hai).

While Meerut had been in contention for the new capital for long, it is Noida/Greater Noida/ Yamuna Expressway Authority that would be the financial capital of this new state. Noida already hosts most of the Indian TV channel offices in Film City so marketting would not be a problem for the state. The state already has metro to Noida and Ghaziabad and soon Meerut would have a high speed train corridor. A large part of Harit Pradesh is already part of NCR (National Capital Region). Agra (Taj) and Mathura (temples) would also get their dues that they could not get from undivided UP.
