Dholera airport will need Jairam Ramesh’s approval, process initiated

The Airport Authority of India has started process for environment clearance to proposed Dholera airport near Ahmedabad.Proposed Dholera airport is about 100 km away from the city of Ahmedabad.The state government has planned this airport.
The proposed airport has already received various clearances from aerospace to defense.
However the next big task is to receive clearance from central Enviornment and forest ministry.
The ministry is led by minister Jayram Ramesh, who is very strict when it comes to environment related matters. Ramesh has not granted clearance to Navi Mumbai airport even after great political pressure. In such situation, environment clearance process is very important and crucial for Dholera airport. The actual construction work on ground will be possible to start, only after environment clearance is received.
The Airport Authority of India has issued a notice inviting application for shortlisting of consultant for Enviornment impact study of proposed Dholera airport.
