Sukhu reminded the council that the Supreme Court’s 2011 judgment confirmed Himachal’s 7.19% entitlement under the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966. He also demanded immediate release of pending dues from the Bhakra Beas Management Board and asked for a permanent Himachal representative on the board.

The Chief Minister pressed for the transfer of hydropower projects that have completed 40 years of operation. He sought full central funding for the power components of the Kishau and Renuka dam projects. He also insisted on equal electricity share for both Himachal and Uttarakhand once these projects are completed.

Sukhu urged the Centre to release nearly ₹10,000 crore pending under the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment, along with the earlier announcement of ₹1,500 crore. He further requested special permission to allot forest land for homes of families affected by disasters.

He also highlighted the need for wider air connectivity, quicker resolution of the boundary issue with Ladakh, and stronger action against drug trafficking across the state.

The airport’s first phase includes a single runway and passenger terminal, handling up to 12 million passengers annually. Technical installations, finishing works, and cleaning are ongoing. Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) exercises are also in progress to ensure smooth functioning.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) will issue the aerodrome licence after readiness checks are completed. The runway is CAT-III compliant, allowing flights in low-visibility conditions like winter fog. IndiGo has been confirmed as the launch carrier, while Akasa Air will operate domestic and international flights.

Originally scheduled for September 2024, the project faced delays due to the pandemic. Once fully completed by 2050, Jewar airport will have six runways, becoming India’s largest aviation hub. The airport is expected to boost trade, tourism, and investment in Uttar Pradesh while enhancing passenger and cargo movement across the region.
