Parliamentary panel for airport at Jhajjar

Chandigarh, August 12
The dream of having an international airport within the National Capital Region (NCR) falling in Haryana may turn into a reality.
The Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Civil Aviation, where the issue was raised by Rohtak MP Deepender Singh Hooda, has recommended the setting up of an international airport at Jhajjar in Haryana as it felt that Delhi required more than one airport. The committee met in Delhi yesterday.
Earlier, Hooda had urged Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in December last to use his good offices with the civil aviation ministry for setting up a greenfield airport-cum-cargo air complex within the NCR falling in Haryana.
Hooda had pleaded that the new airport would cater to low-cost passenger services, air cargo, private operators, helicopter services and aircraft maintenance services in an area of 4,347 acres in Jhajjar district.
The site is located in Mandothi, Jakhoda, Rohad, Saidpur and Tanda Heri villages in Bahadurgarh tehsil near the intersection of the NH-10 and the Kundli Manesar Palwal (KMP) expressway. Hooda had also urged the Prime Minister to ask the ministry to review the norm which prohibited the setting up of an airport within a radius of 150 km of an existing airport. The airport at Jhajjar would be within 150 km of the existing airport at Delhi. The government has recently revised the policy allowing the construction of a new airport within 150 km of the existing one, subject to permission from the cabinet.

No matter the MP is from which party, but such representation and efforts must be there from all sides whether they are in opposition. Its always good to see the person speaking there in parliament. I have heard JP once speaking in parliament few years ago and now Deepender. Else all go there and come without much national recognition and courage to speak even.
