The Navi Mumbai airport is likely to
take off now as it has got the signal from project-affected people (PAPs). They will get 22.5 percent of the developed
land with an average 2 floor space index (FSI).
Farmers have been assured of adequate compensation. The land acquired
would be constructed into a state-of-the-art airport with amenities matching
international standards. A commercial
centre would also be developed and the area around would be known as Pushpak
Nagar. In order to expedite all the
clearances needed in this regard, Shri Chavan urged the Prime Minister to personally
intervene in this regard. Around 10 cr passengers would commute in the initial
phase once commissioned.
In an effort to throw another life
line to Maharashtra’s trophy infrastructure project involving Rs 9630 cr MTHL,
Shri Chavan urged the Prime Minister to declare it a ‘National Project’ and provide
substantial financial assistance of project cost. The project involving a total
distance of 22 km would help seamless and speedy link from Mumbai to Navi
Mumbai, Pune, Goa and South India .
A series of infrastructure projects
are in the pipeline. Of which, the Elevated Suburban Rail Corridor between
Mumbai Central and Virar Station needs to be completed in January 2014. Shri Chavan sought prime minister’s
intervention to remove bottlenecks and help granting necessary clearances at
the earliest. Shri Chavan also discussed
on the issue of shifting of Doppler Radar to any open area of higher altitude
in Mumbai which is presently installed at Colaba. This would help in having an
early warning system of rains and there by minimize future damages.
In a series of meetings, Shri Chavan
called upon Union Textile Minister, K.S.Rao and Union Shipping and Transport
Minister, G.K.Vasan. Later in the day,
he also addressed a press conference at Women Press Club and interacted with
women journalists.
