Seaplane All Set to Kick-Start its Service from Nagpur to Shirdi

BENGALURU: Shirdi has been the center of attraction for many pilgrims across the nation. This holy shrine of ‘Sai Baba’ is located in the district of Ahmednagar and is around 500 kilometers away from Nagpur. To shorten the travel time between the two places, Road Transport and Highways Minister—Nitin Gadkari says that a sea plane service will soon be launched from Ambajhari Lake to Shirdi via Anand Sagar Lake in Shegaon.               

The reason, seaplane stops at Shegaon is for those people who after visiting Shirdi also visit ‘Gajanan Maharaj Samadhi Mandir’ in Shegaon which is another pilgrim spot. Both this holy places are being visited by thousands and hundreds of people every day. For a pilgrim from Nagpur traveling through bus or train, it takes ten hours of travel time. So, Nitin Gadkari is planning to shorten the travel time between the two cities. The sea plane will fly in the morning to arrive at Shirdi and return Nagpur the same day.

Nitin Gadkari and the Maharashtra Chief Minitser—Devendra Fadnavis are further planning to make the second capital of Maharashtra—Nagpur a top city, by deploying number of developmental projects. One such project is the 300 crore cement road constructions in South-West Assembly Constituency which is represented by Fadnavis himself.

Fadnavis says that currently 1000 crore cement road projects are being constructed in the city as they last long i.e. for fifty years. He also envisaged that by 2019 Nagpur will be developed in to a global city. Finally, the metro rail project is also in full swing which will add to the growth of Nagpur.
