Need for improved transportation to cover Navalpattu
There has been a compelling need for improved transportation from the Navalpattu area, as per the outcry from local residents. The following two posts from The Hindu are as below
From : K.P. Leon,Navalpattu Annanagar.
About 3,000 families are residing in the Tamil Nadu Housing Board houses at Anna Nagar and Police Colony, situated at Navalpattu Panchayat. A large number of office-goers and students residing in these areas travel to Main Guard Gate.
But there are no adequate bus services. A minimum of four buses may be introduced from Anna Nagar and Police Colony to Main Guard Gate via the two routes of Junction and Tiruverumbur respectively.
From:R. Hariharan,Airport Colony.
Exclusive bus service to and from airport
Many flights are being operated from Tiruchi airport. The Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation is operating only one bus from airport to the city.
This causes a lot of hardship to the people as they have to pay exorbitant money for the autos and taxis. Also, the residents of Kamaraj Nagar and other areas adjacent to the airport have to depend on the buses which ply from OFT/HAPP/Police Colony to the city, which are always crowded.
It is high time that the transport authorities operate more or exclusive bus services from and to airport.

Eductional institutions embrace BHEL
The following article talks about BHEL's direct campus recruitment from Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology and the Anna University, Chennai. At a time of recession, it is impressive that BHEL can extend this level of growth and provide employment opportunities. The addition of approximately 6500 resources makes a direct contribution to the local economy and the lifestyle as well.
While some Tiruchians could see the glass half empty on IT park delay, Airport expansion delay etc, others could see the glass half full through the value added by BHEL, expanding University and a slower but promising expansion to the Airport as well. The Hindu article provides the details on the institution recruitment topic.

Tiruchi airport to be partially privatised
The Civil Aviation Ministry is planning to partially privatise non-metro airports, according to Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel who visited Chennai on July 5,2009.
Under this arrangement, Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said other than the terminal buildings, the operational area and the runway, areas including car parking, courier and cargo facilities would be handed over to private companies under Private-Public Partnership arrangements. The AAI would lease the land to the private operator and the operator would pay the AAI a licence fee.

The above is a good news for Trichy since private firms are purely profit oriented and would have committed expectations from Govt. Though this is a very early start for what is to come, the background of the private party taking this opportunity would be a good indicator for the underlying potential of the Trichy airport developments.
