Have you heard the latest news from Pune? The State Legislature has passed a resolution to rename the Pune airport after Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj. This decision was heavily pushed for by Pune MP and Minister of State for Civic Aviation Murlidhar Mohol, who expressed his gratitude on social media for the successful follow-up.
The airport, currently known as Lohegaon airport, will now be called ‘Jagadguru Sant Tukaram Maharaj International Airport, Pune’. This resolution, passed unanimously in the State Legislative Assembly, is a tribute to the revered Sant and poet from the 17th century known for his devotion to Bhagwan Vitthal and his contribution to the Bhakti movement.
The renaming of the airport not only honors a historic figure but also showcases Pune’s commitment to preserving its heritage while advancing aviation standards. The city has recently improved passenger facilities by introducing two state-of-the-art inline baggage scanning systems at the New Integrated Terminal Building.
This move highlights Pune’s dedication to blending tradition with progress and solidifies its position as a city that values its cultural and spiritual roots. The resolution will now be forwarded to the Civil Aviation Ministry for further action, marking a significant milestone in Pune’s journey towards modernization while staying connected to its rich history.
