MP Aviation Surveys Sites for Helipad Near CM Residence
The Aviation Department is looking for places to build a helipad near the CM's residence and government office in Bhopal.
They've checked out six spots, but haven't decided yet.
The CM wants this to make it easier to travel.
A team is checking out land options, including near the Assembly and Judicial Academy.
The plan includes seeking weather experts' input.
The project's cost may be high.
They hope to decide where to build by October, with potential plans for multiple helipads across the state.
Aviation Department surveyed multiple locations for a helipad near the CM residence and Mantralaya.
A joint team from the Aviation department, CM House, and PWD is involved in the survey.
The CM requested the helipad construction to avoid problems due to his cavalcade.
The construction cost is estimated at Rs 10-15 crore.
The final decision on the helipad's location is expected by October.
