शनिवार को 228 किसानों ने करीब 80 हेक्टेयर जमीन के लिए सहमति दी है। किसानों ने पहले जमीन के मुआवजे को कम बताकर सहमति देने से इन्कार कर दिया था। जिला प्रशासन और प्राधिकरण ने किसानों को 2300 रुपये प्रति वर्ग मीटर का मुआवजा देने का प्रस्ताव रखा था। वहीं किसान जमीन के सर्किल रेट का चार गुना अधिक मुआवजा मांग रहे थे। बाद में जेवर के विधायक ठाकुर धीरेंद्र सिंह के आग्रह पर किसान जमीन देने को तैयार हो गए।
जिला प्रशासन को अब तक करीब 2600 किसान एक हजार हेक्टेयर भूमि के लिए अपनी सहमति दे चुके हैं। सोमवार को प्राधिकरण व प्रशासन के आला अफसरों की जेवर एयरपोर्ट के संबंध में एक अहम बैठक होगी। जमीन अधिग्रहण का रास्ता साफ होने के बाद प्राधिकरण और प्रशासन अगला कदम उठाएंगे। संभावना है कि अक्टूबर में नवरात्रों के दौरान जेवर एयरपोर्ट का शिलान्यास होगा। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी और मुख्यमंत्री योगी आदित्यनाथ एयरपोर्ट की आधारशिला रखेंगे।

NEW DELHI: Decks for the construction of the Jewar International Airport along the 165-km Yamuna Expressway has been cleared and work for the ambitious project is likely to start by the year-end.

The airport, which is part of the MoCA’s NABH (NextGen Airports for Bharat) Nirman initiative, will be developed on the Public Private Partnership model (PPP).
Site clearance for the project was granted by the MoCA on July 6, 2017, and the Uttar Pradesh Government appointed Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) as the implementing agency on its behalf in October 2017.
YEIDA then obtained a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Defence on January 11. To expedite the implementation of Airport project, a Project Monitoring and Implementation Committee (PMIC) was also constituted on March 27.
During the meeting, the representatives of the state government and YEIDA informed that funds for land acquisition are available and that the process is expected to proceed smoothly.
Land measuring 5,000 hectares (ha) has been identified by YEIDA for the project, out of which 240 ha belongs to the state government and rest is with private owners.
The first phase of acquisition of land measuring 1,327 ha for construction of terminal buildings and runways is expected to be initiated in the month of June by the YEIDA.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to lay the foundation stone for the Noida International Greenfield Airport at Jewar.
The first test run of the Chinese made four-coach train was made on the Acqua line on Tuesday. With the arrival of the Metro, several areas of Noida will see a boost in economic activity.
As many as 21 stations in Noida will be connected with the Metro after the launch of NMRC’s (Noida Metro Rail Corporation) 29.7 km Aqua Line in October. The new Metro line will connect the residents of Noida and Greater Noida with the Metro line, while also making Metro travel to the national capital New Delhi easier. The first test run of the Chinese made four-coach train was made on the Acqua line on Tuesday. With the arrival of the Metro, these areas are also likely to see a boost in the economic activity.
However, it will take at least a year before the Aqua line will be directly connected with the Delhi Metro. The Aqua Line and the Blue Line will meet at Sector 70, Noida, through a skywalk. The Blue line extension from Noida City Centre to Electronic City, Sector 62, will, however, be completed by September 2018. Total 11 trains will ply on this Metro corridor.
“The DMRC is currently working on constructing six additional stations to extend the Blue Line from Noida City Centre to Electronic City,” PD Upadhyay, executive director of the Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) told Indian Express.
The Aqua Line, being made at the cost of Rs 5,503 crore, will start from Theta (Sector 70) in Greater Noida and will pass through Delta 1, Alpha 1 and 2, Pari Chowk and Knowledge Park 2. It will also connect Noida’s Sectors 149, 144, 137, 81 and 50 among others. The Aqua line, along with other Metro lines like Magenta, Blue Line and Blue Line Extension, will add to the expanding Metro coverage in Noida.
On August 6, the DMRC had launched the new section of Durgabai Deshmukh-Lajpat Nagar in Delhi Metro’s Pink Line. This new 8.1-km stretch is a part of the Delhi Metro Pink Line from Majlis Park to Shiv Vihar.
India’s first bullet train may run between Surat and Bilimora on August 15, 2022.
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, stretching over 508-km, is an ambitious initiative that is slated to be fully complete by 2023. However, PM Narendra Modi has set a stiff deadline of August 15, 2022 for flagging off the first bullet train of the country.
On August 15, 2022 India’s first bullet train may run between Surat and Bilimora – covering a stretch of around 48 kilometers in a time of 15 minutes, informed sources told Financial Express Online. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, stretching over 508-km, is an ambitious initiative that is slated to be fully complete by 2023. However, PM Narendra Modi has set a stiff deadline of August 15, 2022 for flagging off the first bullet train of the country. Incidentally, on August 15, 2022 India will complete 75 years of Independence. While National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) is working day and night to complete the bullet train project by August 2022, sources said that in case the entire network is not operational by then, the Surat to Bilimora stretch will be launched.
NHSRCL, the executing body of the bullet train project, has set a target of December 2018 for land acquisition. Despite facing protests in several belts across Gujarat and Maharashtra, the bullet train project work is going on in full swing and NHSRCL officials are hopeful that they will be able to overcome resistance of locals. For this, not only is higher compensation being offered, but innovative methods to convince locals such as chai pe charcha, building schools and hospitals, providing water and catering to other necessities are being adopted.
The bullet train between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will have 12 stations in total; Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, Anand, Vadodara, Bharuch, Surat, Bilimora, Vapi, Boisar, Virar, Thane and Mumbai. The high-speed train will take 2 hours and 57 minutes between the two cities if it stops at all stations. Of the 12 stations, 8 are in Gujarat and 4 in Maharashtra. The bullet train project will also give India its first undersea rail tunnel at Thane creek, for a stretch of 21 kilometres, of which 7 km will be under water.
