Work for Kishangarh airport to begin in December

Jaipur: The work on the proposed airport in Kishangarh near Ajmer is all set to take off in December. It is learnt that in a series of meetings held in the national capital earlier this week, a decision has been taken to clear all the hiccups and pave way for the construction at the site. The proposal was sent to the chief minister on Friday for his nod.
The proposed airport, which will presently be used for general aviation aircraft, was held up for a couple of technical reasons. A 132-KV high tension line was running 1 km east of the runway and a 410-KV power grid was coming up at the south-west of the strip.
To sort the matter out, the CMD of Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (RVPNL), the state principal secretary (civil aviation) and the divisional commissioner and the district collector of Ajmer first met Ajmer MP and Union minister of state for information technology Sachin Pilot in Delhi. They later met Union aviation minister Praful Patel, along with the chairman of Airports Authority of India (AAI), who gave a presentation on the Kishangarh airport.
