Opening of Heerapura bus terminal may be delayed by a month
1 2 Jaipur: Although the state govt plans to start operations from the Heerapura bus terminal in Aug, it seems it will take at least another month to make this terminal operational. On Tuesday, when Team TOI visited the bus terminal, it was found that the Rajasthan State Bus Terminal Development Authority (RSBTDA) is yet to construct roads inside the terminal leading to the bus bays and parking bays from the exit and entry gates. However, work on the bus shed inside the terminal is almost complete, as workers were constructing the last few of the 16-odd bus bays and were erecting the benches and the ticket counters. RSBTDA officials said there were several decisions by the state govt centring on this bus terminal in the last year. Finally, the govt asked the authority to complete the remaining jobs in early April. "The JDA is doing the construction work. We are sorting a few issues with the National Highways Development Authroity of India (NHAI), while the RTO is in talks with the operators. The works are going on at full pace. We are trying to make this terminal ready for operations as soon as possible," stated Shubhra Singh, the chairperson of RSBTDC. Although there is sufficient space for the long-distance buses to take a U-turn from the underpass of the Kamla Nehru Nagar flyover and reach this bus terminal, locals are apprehensive about a bottleneck on the service lane. The vehicles for last-mile connectivity, including JCTSL and minibuses, will have to travel at least five to six kilometre through these lanes to reach the underpass of the Bhankrota flyover. "There is a cut right within 100 metres from the exit gate of the bus terminal for buses to climb the Ajmer-bound flank of the Ajmer Expressway But vehicles travelling towards Jaipur from this terminal must take a U-turn from the underpass of the next Bhankrota flyover. There's no cut on the highway before the Bhankrota flyover. It means these vehicles would travel to the underpass of the Bhankrota flyover through the already congested side lane," said Amit Mishra, a local resident. NHAI said, the state govt would decide on how the traffic would flow in and out of this terminal. "There are three different bays, each of four lanes, to allow traffic movement in these three directions through the underpass of the newly constructed Bhankrota flyover. The rest remains on the traffic and transport department, whether they want to allow Jaipur-bound traffic through the service lanes or through the main flank (Ajmer-bound) of the Expressway," a NHAI official added.

Six-hour delay of SpiceJet's Pune-Jaipur flight frustrates passengers
(Pics mailed) Pune: More than six-hour delay and lack of updates from the airline's ground staff left close to 100 Jaipur-bound flyers of a SpiceJet flight frustrated on Thursday evening. The flight (SG-1080) was scheduled to take off from Pune at 7.30pm and land in Jaipur at 9.50pm. It finally departed at 1.40am on Friday.

We got another message around 4.30pm on Thursday, stating that it would fly at 9.30 pm. By then, I was on my way to the airport," a Nigdi resident booked on the flight said. She came to know during the check-in that her plane would fly at 12.30am. "The airline's employees did not give specific reasons. Some passengers had checked out of their hotels but ended up waiting at the airport for hours. Many flyers got angry and had arguments with the ground staffers," the passenger said. A video surfaced in which passengers accused the ground staff of spreading misinformation. There was haze on the status of the inbound plane from Goa, too. "We were told that the flight had taken off from Goa quite some time back, but when we checked, we found out it had taken off just 10 minutes ago. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo It seems that we made a mistake by choosing the airline for travel," another passenger said. A SpiceJet spokesperson told TOI, "The claim that passengers were informed about the revised departure time only after reaching the airport is factually incorrect. All passengers were duly informed of the schedule change well in advance via email and SMS at 2.30pm. The flight departed as per its revised timing. Additionally, dinner was served to all passengers at the airport.

Air India Jaipur-Mumbai flight makes U-turn 18 mins after take-off: What went wrong
An Air India flight from Jaipur to Mumbai made an emergency return shortly after takeoff on Friday. Flight AI612 returned to Jaipur International Airport due to a 'suspected technical issue', officials confirmed. The aircraft was airborne for about 18 minutes before returning to Jaipur. "Flight AI612 operating from Jaipur to Mumbai returned to Jaipur shortly after take-off due to a suspected technical issue,' Air India said in a statement. Airline officials confirmed that the decision to return was made as a precautionary measure to ensure passenger safety. Air India further emphasised that passenger safety is the airline's top priority. This swift action aligns with standard aviation safety protocols when potential issues are detected, PTI reported. Upon landing, the aircraft was thoroughly checked for any potential issues. Air India further revealed that 'troubleshooting checks were carried out, and it was determined to be a false indication'. Following the thorough inspection, the aircraft was cleared for operations. Once the protocols were fulfilled, the flight departed from Jaipur and continued its journey to Mumbai, the news agency reported. This comes just two days after a Doha-bound Air India Express flight was forced to return to Calicut International Airport on Wednesday morning, approximately two hours after its departure, owing to a technical fault in the aircraft's cabin AC. According to official data, a total of five Indian airlines reported 183 technical defects in their aircraft to the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) this year until July 21. Air India and Air India Express together have reported 85 technical defects, respectively, the data shows.
