Chandigarh MP Dipendra Hooda thanked the Prime Minister on the inauguration of Hisar Airport today and said that many development works in the area including this airport and Yamunanagar’s thermal power plant are the result of the Congress government’s foresight. He said that the Cabinet of the Government of India had approved domestic airports in Hisar and Karnal in 2013 and the International Airport at Maham. Hooda said that the Hisar Airport, which is prepared in three years, has now been re-released by the Prime Minister in a hurry after 11 years of approval and several times on different occasions. At the same time, the work of Karnal Airport is still hanging in the balance. He also questioned the lack of night landing at Hisar Airport and not investigating the alleged scam of Rs 180 crore in the recent boundary wall construction of the airport.
He said that by making a boundary wall without foundation, the security of the airport and the lives of passengers have been at risk. Instead of cursing the Congress government, he urged the Prime Minister to announce the status of ‘Cargo Airport’ in the country to Hisar Airport.
Hooda said that on 27 July 2012, the then Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda and the then Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh decided to develop Hisar and Karnal airstrip as domestic airports. He also expressed displeasure over the Prime Minister’s silence over the Mahm International Airport transferred from Haryana to Uttar Pradesh.
Referring to the Yamunanagar power plant, the MP said that its foundation stone and inauguration was also held during the tenure of the Congress government, where the Prime Minister has laid the foundation stone of a unit today. He said that the Congress government had also arranged for the availability of 1,011 acres of land, railway line and coal for the additional unit while constructing Yamunanagar power plant, but the BJP government delayed 11 years in setting up a unit of 800 MW. He also claimed that the Prime Minister’s Office and the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) had opposed the setting up of the plant in Yamunanagar.
Hooda said that in the last 11 years, BJP governments did not establish any new power unit other than making electricity expensive. He said that between 2005 and 2014, the Congress government had set up four thermal power plants and an nuclear power plant in Haryana to make the state a power surplus state. He also claimed to ensure 24 -hour cheap electricity by making long -term agreements with private companies at cheap rates.
He gave Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant (1200 MW) in Khedar (Hisar), Indira Gandhi Super Thermal Power Plant (1500 MW) in Jhajjar and Mahatma Gandhi Super Thermal Power Plant (1320 M The Congress government was credited for establishing. He also referred to the sanction of the country’s first nuclear power plant and starting work in Gorakhpur village of Fatehabad. -Ks Khabar Network
