Chandigarh: Pinjore-based civil aviation academy, which was once considered a nursery for pilots of the country and is non-functional for some time, may soon witness hectic activities as the Chandimandir-based Indian Army' s western command has asked the Haryana government to allow the Army to utilize the academy.
A formal request was made by the Army commander of Western Command, Lt Gen S R Ghosh, to the state chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on Thursday. The CM was in the Western Command headquarters to attend a Civil Military Liaison Conference.
Lt Gen Ghosh told the chief minister that development of aviation infrastructure involves high capital costs and joint utilization of such available infrastructure near the command headquarters would be significant for the operational preparedness of the western command. Responding to army commandera's proposal, the CM immediately agreed to examine the issue favourably.
