Senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader and Baramati MP Supriya Sule has written to the Centre, proposing the development of a water aerodrome project at the Ujjani reservoir under the Civil Aviation Ministry’s UDAN-RCS (Regional Connectivity Scheme).
Ms. Sule, who also met Union Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday in this regard, requested Mr. Puri to extend the Ministry’s UDAN-RCS to Ujjani, considering the strategic location and suitability of the reservoir. The Ujjani dam over Bhima river is located at the junction of Pune, Ahmednagar and Solapur districts and is around 125 km away from the nearest commercial airport at Lohegaon in Pune.More Related News
