Jaipur Airport gets major infra upgrade to boost capacity, user experience
Jaipur International Airport Ltd has started a major infrastructure upgrade aimed at enhancing passenger convenience and accommodating the increasing number of travellers. As many as 14 projects, cumulatively exceeding Rs 600 crore, have been launched to transform various facets of the airport to enhance efficiency and overall passenger experience, an official said. "These projects collectively aim to elevate the infrastructure of Jaipur Airport, ensuring it meets international benchmarks and provides an enhanced travel experience," he said. Under the plan, Terminal 2 is being expanded, which, he said, is a crucial component of the infrastructure development plan. Jaipur International Airport Ltd (JIAL) is a subsidiary of Adani Airport Holdings Limited. "The 15,000 sq mt of expansion will enhance the overall capacity of the existing terminal. Currently, the terminal has 39 check-in counters with 24 new counters planned to be added during the expansion. This will bring the total number of check-in counters to 63, significantly reducing passenger wait times," he added. In addition to the new check-in counters, the airport is also introducing eight additional Self-Baggage Drop (SBD) counters. "The security screening process will also be enhanced with the addition of nine new X-ray Baggage Inspection System (XBIS) machines, which will double this number to 18. Automotive Tray Retrieval System will be another unique feature of this extension. This increase will enable fast and thorough screening of other baggage," he said. Boarding gates will increase from six to ten. Similarly, two new entry gates will be added, taking the total number to six. The installation of two new aerobridges on the second floor of T2 will facilitate easier boarding and deboarding of passengers and will reduce the turnaround time. The official said that the plan includes the development of a 6,000 sq mts new forecourt area in the porch area. "The construction of the forecourt is designed to improve the overall accessibility and convenience for passengers arriving at or departing from the airport. The area will have over 11 retail counters and other public utility spaces," he said. Over 40,000 sq mts of landscaped area will have aesthetically carved pedestrian walkways, lawns and green area comprising seasonal flowers. Upgradation of the apron at T-11 would enable the accommodation of more aircraft and improve operational efficiency. Extension of the canopy at T-2 to provide better protection from the elements and improve passenger comfort, he added.

Jaipur jail breach: Med referrals enabled hotel stays for inmates
Jaipur: A day after Jaipur police arrested 13 people — including four inmates of Jaipur Central Jail and five police personnel — in connection with a brazen criminal racket that allowed inmates to spend time in hotels under the guise of medical referrals, a primary probe hints at a key inmate suspected of orchestrating the operation. According to officials, the inmate forged close ties with jail staff and bribed them to procure fake medical referral slips from the prison doctor. These slips enabled prisoners to be temporarily released under the pretext of treatment at SMS Hospital. Once the referrals were secured, cooperative guards were allegedly assigned escort duty. Instead of the hospital, inmates were taken to hotels across the city to meet relatives or enjoy time outside prison. On Saturday, inmates Rafiq Bakri, Bhanwar Yadav, Ankit Bansal, and Karan Gupta were taken out citing medical reasons but were later found in two hotels. Rafiq and Bhanwar were at one hotel, while Ankit and Karan were tracked to Hotel Belacasa near Jaipur Airport. "We are examining the jail's internal processes related to medical referrals to determine where protocol was flouted and identify the officials involved," a senior police officer said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Manchester: If You Were Born Between 1940-1975 You Could Be Eligible For This Life Cover Reassured Get Quote Undo The hotel-prison racket has sparked a political storm, with former CM Ashok Gehlot accusing the BJP-led govt of failing to maintain law and order.

This exposes deep rot in the system," Gehlot said, citing past incidents of assassination threats from jail.

FACT CHECK: Explosions At Jaipur Airport? Heres What PIB Has To Say
The central government on Saturday debunked an image doing the rounds on social media claiming explosions at the Jaipur Airport. Confirming that the claims are 'fake', PIB fact check stated that the airport is safe. 'Jaipur Airport is Safe Claims are circulating that explosions were heard at #Jaipur Airport. #PIBFactCheck These claims are FAKE Here is the clarification from the District Collector & Magistrate, Jaipur,' the PIB fact check said in a post on X. Jaipur Airport is Safe Claims are circulating that explosions were heard at #Jaipur Airport.#PIBFactCheck These claims are FAKE Here is the clarification from the District Collector & Magistrate, Jaipur — PIB Fact Check (@PIBFactCheck) May 9, 2025 The PIB fact check shared an X post of District Collector & Magistrate, Jaipur, to confirm that the images of explosions at Jaipur Airport being shared are misleading. 'This news is baseless and misleading. Jaipur airport is completely safe,' Jaipur District Collector said in his post. Meanwhile, the PIB's fact-checking unit, early Friday morning, debunked a widely circulating video on social media claiming to show Pakistani attacks on Hazira Port in Gujarat and a drone attack in Jalandhar. The PIB said the Hazira Port video is an unrelated video "confirmed to depict an oil tanker explosion". The footage captures an oil tanker explosion that occurred on July 7, 2021, and Pakistan is falsely propagating it as its attack on the port. Another video claimed to show the aftermath of a drone attack in Jalandhar. In a post on X, PIB fact-check clarified that the video is unrelated and depicts a farm fire. PIB's post stated, "Drone Attack in Jalandhar. This drone strike video from #Jalandhar is widely circulating on social media#PIBFactCheck This is an unrelated video of a farm fire. The video has the time 7:39 PM, while the drone attack began later." After India launched its most expansive cross-border strikes on terror bases in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Pakistan, a flood of misinformation and false propaganda is being peddled from across the border by its influencers and media, as well as government-sponsored social media handles. Several such videos have already been exposed by the team of the PIB since India's military action against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir began on May 7. PIB has urged citizens to exercise caution and verify information before sharing it online. "In times of heightened national security, misinformation can lead to unnecessary panic and confusion. Always rely on official sources for updates," a PIB spokesperson stated.
