MP Waje seeks immigration checkpoint at Nashik airport

Nashik: Nashik MP Rajabhau Waje recently met with Union aviation minister Ram Mohan Naidu to push for significant developments at Nashik airport ahead of the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela in 2026-2028. Waje submitted a memorandum requesting an immigration checkpoint and a major airport expansion to handle the expected influx of devotees. The proposed expansion includes constructing a new terminal building with seating for 1,000 passengers, developing new taxiways, and increasing the number of aircraft parking bays. Waje also called for the construction of separate helipads at the airport, in Nashik city, and in Trimbakeshwar to manage the massive crowd. Naidu has assured Waje that he would look into these requests. Additionally, Waje proposed that the airport be named after Yashwantrao Chavan, Maharashtra's first chief minister who was instrumental in bringing the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) unit to Nashik. Currently, the Nashik-Delhi flight has been reduced from daily to four days a week. This service should be made daily again. Waje also requested a slot at Delhi airport for the second Nashik-Delhi flight at night. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do you have a mouse? Desert Order Undo The MP also called for expanded air connectivity to Nashik airport, specifically requesting new routes to major cities like Kolkata, Varanasi, and Chennai. All these demands come ahead of the upcoming Kumbh Mela, where the airport expects a significant increase in passenger traffic. The airport, a joint venture between the state government and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), was developed between 2013 and 2014 at a cost of Rs 94 crore. The current terminal can only accommodate 300 passengers at a time. With the footfall expected to reach 1,000 passengers per hour during the Kumbh Mela, HAL has submitted a proposal to state govt for a much-needed upgrade. However, a decision on the development plan is still pending.

Walled City features in book series on Seoul's heritage

Ahmedabad: Lend an ear to the walls of Ahmedabad in the heart of the city, and chances are you might hear centuries of history. The walls and gates spanning 11km, which gave Ahmedabad India's first Unesco World Heritage City tag, saw the Gujarat Sultanate, Mughals, Marathas and British before the emergence of independent India and the city's development as a major economic hub of the country. "Few may know, but the enclosures also served as water reservoirs with wells and a well-maintained water system comprising a river and channels. Panchkuva Darwaza, as the name suggests, got its name due to the presence of five wells, some of which may even have served travellers," said Ashish Trambadia, a city-based conservation architect. Trambadia, along with his wife Poonam, also a conservation architect, represented the city and India in the Seoul City Wall Studies Series of books focusing on urbanisation and history coexisting in an Asian context.

Poonam Trambadia said that, like Ahmedabad, the city of Seoul is also seen as a medieval walled city before its modern avatar. "Thus, the compendium is seen as a collection of best practices that also includes perspectives from Japan and China among others. The city was included due to the long history of the fortification and its World Heritage Site status," she said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Access all TV channels anywhere, anytime Techno Mag Learn More Undo The duo said that built between 1411 and 1486, the city's fortification has a long, documented history with a founding fable including Sultan Ahmad Shah. There are three distinct phases in which the fortification came up and multiple phases of restoration — the last one continuing to date. "We also focused on the original 14 gates of the city, especially the recently restored ones that gave a peek into the city's architectural style and its foundation," said Ashish Trambadia. "During the restoration of Khanpur Darwaza by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), the roof slab was opened. At that time, we noticed a unique element. Unlike other city gates, it did not have an arch but a beam supported by stone brackets with trabeated spanning commonly seen in eras predating the Sultanate era. It can be seen as a confluence of architectural styles," he said. "Likewise, at Raikhad Darwaza, we went up to the foundation level for the first time during the restoration process and found the unique technique of layers of bricks between stones, perhaps as a measure to soak moisture and provide a cushion against earthquakes." Poonam Trambadia said that from being the reason for Ahmedabad's municipality to exist (to repair the dilapidated walls) in 1831 to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's historic decision to decongest the walled city areas in 1921, the walls have played an integral role in the city's history. "Today, they need conservation and maintenance amid several challenges of urbanisation. But the need of the hour is to ensure that we pass them down to the next generation," she said.

Patna Museum opens for visitors with new galleries

Patna: The gates of the Patna Museum were thrown open for visitors, offering new hi-tech features and immersive exhibits that provide a virtual tour through the rich culture of Bihar and its glorious past. The extended facility of the museum includes two galleries, Patli and Ganga, which narrate the story of the emergence of Patliputra and showcase the evolution of civilisation on the banks of the Ganga, respectively. On the first day, 72 visitors toured the museum and the new sculpture garden. Patna Museum's deputy director Sunil Kumar Jha said the visitors' response was excellent and they were happy with the new facility and galleries. "We are positive that the footfall will increase in the coming days. The other reason for low footfall is the upcoming third edition of the Bihar Museum Biennale, which will start on August 7 and continue till December 31," he said, adding that a large number of people will participate in the heritage walk on Wednesday, which will begin from Patna Museum and conclude at Bihar Museum. " The Ganga gallery displays the 445-km journey of the Ganga across seven cultural regions: Shahabad, Magadh, Kosi, Ang, Tirhut, Mithila and Seemanchal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo As visitors enter, they observe the Ganga emerging from Lord Shiva's 'jata' displayed on an LED screen.
