Shirdi airport is all set to open in November

If you are a Sai Baba devotee who likes seeking his blessings every now and then, your journey to Shirdi has just become a lot easier. Starting November, Shirdi's airport will be fully functional and will welcome flights from New Delhi and Mumbai. The airport has cost Rs 225 crore so far and another Rs 100 crore will be spent on this airport before it becomes fully functional. Shirdi airport is being set up on a land spread over 900 acres and has a 2500 meter-long runway, which according to reports, will be extended to 3200 meters. There are plans to introduce a night-landing facility in January 2017 but till then flight operations will be restricted to daylight hours only. Over the next two years, construction on the permanent terminal building is expected to be completed. The extension of the runway to 3200 m will also enable the landing of bigger aircraft.

Shirdi Airport is located about 14km from the town. To start with the airport will connect the temple town to Mumbai and New Delhi. This is a big step up from the current situation. The closest airport to Shirdi is Aurangabad (125 km away), which is about a three-hour road journey away. And Mumbai is a five-hour drive away from Shirdi. While you can indeed fly to Shirdi from Mumbai using a chartered helicopter, the services are expensive and infrequent.

Shirdi is one of Maharashtra's most popular pilgrim sites. On an average, the temple town welcomes around 60,000 visitors every day. These figures can go as high as 100,000 over the weekends and 500,000 during auspicious days such as Gurupoornima, Dussehra and Ramnavami. The Sai Baba temple that stands at the heart of Shirdi's economy was constructed in 1922, four years after Sai Baba's death, and was privately owned by one Shrimant Gopalrao, a millionaire from Nagpur.

Plans of opening up Shirdi airport for commercial traffic had been afoot for some years now and there were several interested parties that were keen on operating the airport. Only last year, the Government of Maharashtra received a bid from the Malaysian Government which expressed interest in taking over the operations of Shirdi's airport for a cost of Rs 1500 crore.

Norway plans world’s first underwater floating tunnel

Necessity is the mother of invention. One such pressing need is leading Norway to build an engineering marvel: the world’s first underwater floating tunnel.

According to reports, western Norway comprises almost 1,200 fjords, which are long, narrow, deep inlets of the sea between high cliffs formed by submergence of a glaciated valley. Because of such geography, which is stunning to see, travelling across the nation’s coastline is a nightmare.

Business Insider recently reported that the drive from Kristiansand to Trondheim in Norway takes about 21 hours and one has to take as many as seven ferry crossings to continue on the journey.

It is this need that has seen the Norwegian Public Roads Administration proposing the world’s first underwater floating tunnel through the Norwegian Sea.

Such a tunnel will make travelling easier and will cut down travel time by at least half. The cost of the proposed tunnel, if completed in time, has been estimated at $25 billion, according to Wired magazine.

So what will the Norwegian underwater floating tunnel look like? Let’s take a look: click here
