Vijay Kumar Singh BEGUSARAI: Union minister of state for civil aviation General (retd) Vijay Kumar Singh has said in a written reply to a question raised in Rajya Sabha by MP Rakesh Sinha that Begusarai airstrip is available in the tentative list of unserved airports under UDAN scheme of the Centre, but no proposal has been received for connecting Begusarai till completion of four rounds of bidding under the scheme. Sinha had sought to know if inclusion of Begusarai airstrip under the UDAN scheme was in the scheme of things of the government as new industrial units and businesses have necessitated a light airport in Begusarai. Singh said in his reply that Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS)-UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) is a market-driven scheme and interested airlines, on their assessment of demand on particular routes, submit their proposal at the time of bidding under the scheme. In reply to the question by the MP that whether government will improve existing airport or examine new places for a greenfield airport in Begusarai, the minister said only those unserved or underserved airstrips are eligible for upgradation and development which are included in the awarded routes of UDAN scheme. He added as per the greenfield airports policy of the central government for construction of greenfield airport, the state government concerned or the airport operator have to identify suitable sites. After getting the feasibility study of the site, the application is then sent to the ministry of civil aviation for site clearance as well as approval by steering committee of the ministry.Incidentally, with major industries like IOCL, NTPC, Hindustan Urvarak Rasayan Limited (HURL) and many private industries operating from here besides thriving businesses, the demand for direct air connectivity to Begusarai has got shriller during the last few months in view of huge traffic outflow from here.End of ArticleFOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA
