Haji camp route will never become operational. I think that airport will also not operational until 2018.
But work is proceeding at a good pace on the airport. The Supreme Court got involved last year; The judiciary and the media will not allow the Govt to push this national level project to the backburner.
PK1: If airport is about to be operational by March 2014 according to PM direction, then will it be possible to get the Haji Camp route operational by that time? Has Govt announced any deadline or time span for the completion of Haji Camp route?
Most likely it will be mid 2016. By then they can complete Haji Camp route. But my guess is they will do both routes - Kashmir Highway and Haji Camp.
PK1: I have heard that Govt will acquire about 14k Kanal land in Mouza Bajnial (I-17, I-18 , H Series etc) (Adjacent with 1-16 area). One of my relatives has also seen the notification document containing Khasra numbers in that area.
Do you have any information about that?
Until connecting roads are constructed and sufficient water supply is available; how an airport can be operational? Airport can be completed but can not be operational until such relative issuez are resolved. Govt is using delaying tactics.
Airport card will come into play in this very Government for sure !
The government tenure is about 3 more years, so it will be operational in coming 2 years.
Pk1 Haji Camp route is final might be in papers only. Im not against it that it would not be a reality, but do consider the time frame of its completion as well.
Ok considering 2016 the year airport coming into play. Do u think Government will complete all the PC-1, Design , Tender , Litigation on the way, all the flyovers needed, within 2 years ??
you are rite that both routes are equally important as we had already discussed in detail both.
Cheers,
Brother! read statement of member planning Raja Nowsherwan in senate standing committee ; estimate will be considerably higher than 15 billions. All this stunt. U will see Gov. Will go for old route.
