The foundation stone for a new, state-of-the-art aircraft hangar was laid by Vice Admiral A.K. Chawla, Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Southern Naval Command, at the Naval Aircraft Yard, Kochi.
The new hangar would be constructed as a green hangar with minimum ‘carbon footprint’ by 2023. Towards this, in-built solar power generation facility, rainwater harvesting and maximum use of natural light/ventilation have been factored in the design. The new hangar would replace the 1946-vintage structure and would facilitate deep-level repairs of new aircraft.

The Karnataka government has drafted a comprehensive master plan for the integrated development of Kukke Subrahmanya temple, the State’s highest revenue-generating temple managed by the Hindu Religious Institutions and Charitable Endowments Department. The redevelopment initiative is estimated to cost around ₹254 crore and aims to enhance infrastructure and facilities for devotees.
