Public Works Minister C M Udasi has said that a suggestion by some MLAs
to make the proposed High Speed Rail Link to Bangalore International
Airport go underground in front of the Government Flying Training
School, Jakkur, would be considered.
The minister, replying to a matter raised by MLA Goolihatti Shekar (Ind) in the Assembly on Tuesday, said that it may not be possible for the National Highways Authority of India to realign the NH7 in front of the flying institute in Jakkur. The road is getting widened and the land for the same has been acquired.
Shekar had said that the government must ensure that the training school doesn’t lose some more land because of the road projects. It would be difficult for the school to use the airfield if the runway becomes shorter. The proposed High Speed Rail Link, in front of the school, could go underground so that the activities of the training school will not be affected.
The minister said the training school officials had told the government that the road widening would reduce the length of the runway affecting the flights. Operating against the instructions of the Director General of Civil Aviation would lead to the closure of the prestigious training school, the officials have said.
The training school officials are planning to purchase private land to maintain the runway length and the NHAI is ready to bear the cost.
