Kiren Rijiju praises PM Modi for the new airport in Arunachal on his birthday

On Saturday, Arunachal Pradesh native and union law and justice minister Kiren Rijju hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for opening Itanagar’s Donyi Polo Airport, the nation’s first new greenfield airport. “Having an airport in the state capital was our ambition; thanks to PM Modi, that desire has now been realised. For the construction of this airport, he issued specific instructions,” Rijiju was cited as saying by the news agency ANI.
In addition, PM Modi wished Rijiju a happy birthday and wished him a long and healthy life. “Happy birthday to our vivacious law minister, @KirenRijiju Ji. He is working hard to improve our legal system even further. He is also deeply committed to Arunachal Pradesh’s development. I’m saying a prayer for him long and healthy life,” tweeted Modi.
The border state will be connected to other Indian cities with commercial flights as well as other areas of Arunachal Pradesh through helicopter services thanks to Donyi Polo Airport, the first greenfield facility in the northeastern state, which is situated at Hollongi, about 15 kilometres from the state capital Itanagar.
PM Modi lay the airport’s foundation stone in February 2019.
Approximately 690 acres of land have been created for the airport at a cost of over 640 crore. The airport is excellent for daytime operations in all conditions because to its 2,300 m runway.
There will be eight check-in desks, and at rush hour, it can hold 200 passengers. The state of Arunachal Pradesh lacks an airport. The closest facility is in Lilabari Airport in Assam’s north Lakhimpur district, which is 80 kilometres distant.
The state has a few high-tech landing areas, notably those at Pasighat and Tezu. Donyi Polo Airport, which is 4,100 square metres in size, will be furnished with all contemporary amenities for travellers.
PM Modi declared that the government is committed to helping the north-east area after the airport’s official opening. The development of the north-east has become our top goal, the prime minister remarked, from culture to agriculture, from business to connectivity.
The airport’s name pays homage to Arunachal Pradesh’s customs, rich cultural legacy, and long-standing indigenous veneration of the Sun (known locally as “Donyi”) and the Moon (known locally as “Polo”).

For the Tirupati Balaji temple replica in Navi Mumbai, TTD conducts bhoomi pooja

On Wednesday, the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) ceremoniously performed the bhumi pooja in preparation for the building of a copy of the Tirupati Balaji temple in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The pooja was performed according to the agama shastras by priests and representatives from the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams.
The bhumi pooja ritual was attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and other members of their cabinet. It was a Maharashtrian’s dream come true, Eknath Shinde told reporters. “Today is a particularly significant day for Maharashtra since the duplicate of the Tirupati Balaji mandir is about to be built in Navi Mumbai. Not everyone has the good fortune to travel to Tirumala to see Balaji.
Therefore, the new temple would fulfil the aspiration of the Maharashtrian people to see Sri Balaji Venkateswara in Mumbai, according to Shinde.
With the assistance of donor devotees, the Tirupati trust would invest over Rs 75 crore in the construction of this new temple. You might remember that the TTD trust board decided a few years ago to build a new Balaji temple in Mumbai. Ten acres of land were given to the Tirupati trust by the Maharashtra government last year for the construction of the new temple. The Tirupati trust held the ceremony to lay the cornerstone for its new temple in Navi Mumbai on Wednesday after overcoming obstacles connected to CRZ laws and obtaining all necessary clearances.
