PUNE: Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan on Friday announced that the state government was considering setting up an airport in every district of the state and said that land for the international airport at Chakan near Pune has been ?finalized?.

?The location of the Chakan airport was changed two or three times due to some technical and local issues. However, we have now finalized the land and are in the process of conducting surveys,? he said

Chavan was speaking at the concluding session of a day-long seminar organized by the state government at the Council Hall here on the platinum jubilee year of the state legislature.

?The government is developing two international airports ? at Chakan and Navi Mumbai. Both projects were delayed due to land-related issues. The Navi Mumbai airport requires some additional land.

We are working on airport projects and are confident to push ahead both projects in the coming days. We are keen on setting up airports in every district to promote industry and better communication,? Chavan said.

Referring to the various projects that were sanctioned for Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad recently, Chavan said the government was working on implementing the metro rail and ring road projects for Pune city. He said there is a plan to start an international convention centre in Bhosari-Moshi to attract industries. He also pointed out that the government has decided to include 28 more villages in the PMC limits to enable planned development and ensure basic infrastructure facilities there.

Chavan said, there has been a significant growth in the urban population in the state over the last few years.

?Steps are being taken to tackle issues of urbanization. The government recently decided to develop integrated townships near big cities like Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad and Nagpur by providing additional FSI. The government is considering changes in the Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act and in the town planning schemes to streamline the process of land dealings in urban areas and to reduce pendency,? he said.

In his speech earlier, Chavan asked local officials in the Pune revenue division to promote drip irrigation. He said the division should set itself a goal of achieving 100% drip irrigation in the next five years. He assured that the government would initiate steps to prepare a regional plan for every district and a vision document of the Pune revenue division to promote balanced growth.

Chavan said the government has submitted a proposal to the Union government to allocate Rs 2,200 crore to the state to complete smaller irrigation projects located in drought-prone areas.
