Visakhapatnam: Former Secretary to the Union Government and convener of Forum for Better Visakha

In a letter addressed to Secretary of the ministry RN Choubey on Tuesday, he said that the State government was trying to brazenly favour private parties in entrusting the development of Bhogapuram Airport project, at the cost of the AAI. Though AAI had offered better terms in response to a tender enquiry, the State government had opted in favour of cancelling the tender, making its intention clear, that it would award the project only to a private party. This has raised questions of propriety on the part of the State, he stated.

 

“According to latest reports, Anil Ambani’s Reliance Group has entered the bidding for Bhogapuram Airport project. It appeared that the State was willing to consider Reliance’s offer. What distressed us most in that report is that the State had tried to blame AAI without any justification for the delay in proceeding with the project. The Union Ministry of Civil Aviation should strongly rebut this allegation and expose the State’s reluctance to award the project to a PSU with proven track record, without any valid justification,” he said..

Dr. Sarma recalled that earlier, when the possibility of GMR bidding for Bhogapuram project was indicated. he had brought to the ministry’s notice the heavy debt liabilities of that company which would not make it prudent for the State to consider that company for the project.
Now, even in the case of the Reliance Group, reports suggest that Reliance also had come under a heavy financial stress due to its debt service obligations and, therefore, it looks as though that the State has once again failed to exercise due diligence in looking out for bidders, he noted.

He also feared that if these private players referred were to be awarded the project, it would accentuate the already serious NPA crisis of the banking system that would, in turn, drain the resources of the Centre. Moreover, in matters such as the setting up of large airports, the State cannot and should not be allowed to disassociate the Centre, he pointed out, while seeking immediate action in the matter.

Utter failure of CBN's administration and first of all, there is no need to construct a new airport out of thin air...it can wait or can be taken up in a phased manner over the next few years studying the passenger growth and viability...or else, state govetnment has to put in money to run the airport...

Idiot CBN...ie matram ingitha gnanam kuda lekunda poindi....

Ambani Better Than Airport Authority?

For Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu, Ambani’s Reliance Group seems to be better than Airport Authority of India, a Central government organisation, in building an airport.

Former Secretary to the Union Government and retired IAS officer E A S Sarma pointed out that the Naidu government was trying to brazenly favour private parties in entrusting the development of Bhogapuram Airport project, at the cost of the AAI.

Though AAI had offered better terms in response to a tender enquiry, the State government had opted in favour of cancelling the tender, making its intention clear, that it would award the project only to a private party.

On airports at Kurnool and Nellore, he said the airports with one or two operations would be unviable and no operator will be willing to operate such an airport, let alone develop.

First Amaravathi ki oka direct international flight vepinchandi man. district ki oka airport tharuvatha kattochu kaani. one year nundi seputhunnaru international flight coming ani.

mana pulka gallu abbo full rechipotunaru, air traffic chala perigindi ani...

reality endante, ipudu vunna air traffic ki ae private operator gadu kuda airport ni run cheyadu...forget private player building the airport...

AAI ni build and operate cheyamani chepadam best...vaade loss vachina kuda nadipichukuntadu...

when air traffic hits a number and financially viable, let a private player take over..

nijanga CBN burra vundi chestunda leka dhamak sarkainchi ilanti panulu chestunada ?
