Lainingthou Sanamahi Kiyong

The Lainingthou Sanamahi Kiyong (Meitei for 'Lainingthou Sanamahi Shrine'), officially known as the Laiyingthou Sanamahi Kiyong (Meitei for 'Laiyingthou Sanamahi Shrine'), is a temple of God Lainingthou Sanamahi of Meitei religion (Sanamahism), built on the Nongmaiching mountain (Selloi Langmai mountain) in the Imphal East district of Kangleipak (Meitei for 'Manipur'). It is a center of the Sanamahism followers in Manipur. It is the central body of the "Sanamahi Lainingkol" (University of Sanamahi Culture) at Chingoi Maru Langmaiching (Nongmaiching). The Sanamahi Kiyong is a religious destination and a pilgrimage site for the Meitei people, even for those living outside Manipur in other Northeast Indian states and also for the Kabui people and the Zeliangrong people living in Manipur, Assam and Tripura inside India as well as in Myanmar and Bangladesh. Aim The construction of the Sanamahi Kiyong temple aims at the establishment of a university of Sanamahi religion on the Nongmaiching mountain. It was built according to a 2002 resolution adopted at a public meeting having a goal to construct a university for Sanamahism, with the aim to teach the future generations of people about the ancient Meitei culture of the Sanamahi religion, offering its students various subjects about indigenous art forms, dance forms, music, Thang-Ta and Sagol Kangjei (Meitei for 'polo') etc. Architecture The Sanamahi Kiyong is 75 feet (23 m) tall. It has 7 stories, that represent the seven clans (Meitei: Salai) of the Meitei people. The 7 stories are painted in the colours of the 7 Meitei clans. Construction The construction of the Sanamahi Kiyong started in the year 2006. It was done through the donated funds raised from the public. As of March 2012, the construction cost reached ₹2 crore (equivalent to ₹3.8 crore or US$390,000 in 2023) and the then estimation of net cost was around ₹3 crore (equivalent to ₹5.7 crore or US$590,000 in 2023). Inauguration The Sanamahi Kiyong was previously planned to be inaugurated on 16 May 2019. But it was postponed to 8 June 2019 because religious leaders advised that it should be done on Meitei month of Enga (Meitei: ꯏꯉꯥ, romanized: ī-ngā) and not on the month of Kalen (Meitei: ꯀꯥꯂꯦꯟ, romanized: kā-len) and 8 June falls on Enga, the favourable month. On 8 June 2019, the Sanamahi Kiyong Hongba (Meitei for 'inauguration of the Kiyong-Temple') was organised by the "Foundation For University of Sanamahi Culture" and the "Laiyingthou Sanamahi Thougal Kanglup". The event was attended by N Hiyainu, wife of Nongthombam Biren, the then Chief Minister of Manipur.

Flughafen Pakyong

Der ca. 1400 m hoch gelegene Flughafen Pakyong (englisch Pakyong Airport, auch Gangtok Airport, IATA-Code: PYG, ICAO-Code: VEPY) ist ein nationaler Flughafen ca. 30 km (Fahrtstrecke) südlich der Stadt Gangtok beim Ort Pakyong im nordindischen Bundesstaat Sikkim. Betreiber des Flughafens ist die Airports Authority of India. Geschichte Vor der Errichtung des Flughafens Pakyong, war Sikkim der einzige Bundesstaat ohne Flughafen. Das Projekt zum Bau des Flughafens Pakyong wurde im Oktober 2008 vom Kabinettsausschuss für Wirtschaftsfragen genehmigt. Der Grundstein für den Bau wurde vom Minister für Zivilluftfahrt Praful Patel im Februar 2009 gelegt. Das Projekt sollte ursprünglich bis 2012 abgeschlossen sein, doch Proteste der Bevölkerung, die eine angemessene Entschädigung forderten, führten im Januar 2014 zur Einstellung der Arbeiten. Die AAI führte Gespräche mit der aufgebrachten Bevölkerung und zahlte eine Teilentschädigung, sodass die Arbeiten im Oktober 2014 wieder aufgenommen werden konnten. Im Januar 2015 kamen die Arbeiten jedoch erneut zum Erliegen, als es erneut zu Protesten kam. Im Juli 2015 unterzeichneten die AAI und die Landesregierung eine Absichtserklärung, in der sie versprachen, die betroffenen Haushalte bis zum 15. August umzusiedeln, damit die Arbeiten ab Oktober 2015 wieder aufgenommen werden können. Diese Proteste und mehrere Erdrutsche ließen die Baukosten sich fast verdoppeln. Am 5. März 2018 landete eine Dornier 228 der Indischen Luftwaffe als erstes Flugzeug auf dem Flughafen. Der Flughafen erhielt am 5. Mai 2018 seine kommerzielle Betriebsgenehmigung von der Generaldirektion Zivilluftfahrt (DGCA). Am 24. September 2018 wurde der Flughafen von Premierminister Narendra Modi eingeweiht. Der kommerzielle Flugbetrieb startete am 4. Oktober 2018. Allerdings stellte die einzige kommerzielle Passagierfluggesellschaft des Flughafens, SpiceJet, den Flugbetrieb zum Flughafen mit Wirkung zum 1. Juni 2019 ein. Nach einer Unterbrechung von 19 Monaten wurde der Flugbetrieb am 23. Januar 2021 wieder aufgenommen, nachdem verbesserte Anflüge nach den Anforderungen der Required Navigation Performance (RNP) eingeführt worden waren. Flughafenanlagen Die 1700 m lange und nur für Turboprop-Maschinen geeignete Start- und Landebahn ist mit ILS ausgestattet.

Aeropuerto de Pakyong

El Aeropuerto de Pakyong (IATA: PYG, OACI: VEPY) es un aeropuerto localizado en Pakyong, un pueblo del estado indio de Sikkim. Se encuentra a 30 km de Gangtok, la capital estatal. El proyecto se desarrolló a principios de los años 2000 con el fin de atraer más turistas a la región himalaya. Abrió en 2018 como la primera pista en Sikkim y el centésimo aeropuerto de la India. En diciembre de 2018 se ofrecían vuelos a dos otras ciudades del país. Historia La 11.ª Comisión Financiera del gobierno central asignó 500 millones de rupias en el 2000 para la construcción de una pista en Sikkim. El gobierno estatal decidió fabricarla en el municipio de Pakyong. El comité del gabinete para asuntos económicos aprobó el plan seis años más tarde.​ Se colocó la piedra angular del sitio en 2009, y la Dirección de Aeropuertos de la India (AAI por sus siglas en inglés) realizó las obras.​ Se emplearon varias tecnologías especiales debido al terreno de la zona; los trabajadores tallaron la tierra de la ladera de un cerro y levantaron un muro de refuerzo que mide 80 m de altura.​​​ Aunque el final del proyecto estaba planeado para el 2012, el proceso de adquirir tierra y las protestas de los aldeanos lo demoraron. Las obras habían desplazado a varios vecinos de Pakyong, así que pedían compensación.​ El gobierno de Sikkim y la AAI firmaron un acuerdo en julio de 2015 para retomar la construcción tres meses después y trasladar las casas de los aldeanos afectados. Los retrasos doblaron el costo del proyecto de 3,09 mil millones a 6,06 mil millones de rupias.​ El primer avión en aterrizar en la pista fue un Dornier 228 de la Fuerza Aérea India en marzo de 2018.​ Hubo una ceremonia de inauguración el 24 de septiembre de 2018 a la que asistió el primer ministro Narendra Modi, quien declaró el establecimiento del centésimo aeropuerto funcional de la India y la primera pista del estado.​ Sikkim había sido el único estado del país que carecía de un aeropuerto. Se esperaba que la pista de Pakyong produjera un aumento de turismo en la región, que está ubicada entre las montañas del Himalaya e incluye varios lagos y glaciares. Sin embargo, era difícil viajar a Sikkim porque el aeropuerto más cercano quedaba en Bagdogra, a 125 km de la capital estatal de Gangtok.​​ La operación comercial del aeropuerto empezó el 4 de octubre del mismo año cuando un vuelo de SpiceJet procedente de Calcuta llegó a Pakyong.​ El servicio de SpiceJet recibe subvenciones del gobierno central a través del Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik, una iniciativa que pretende ampliar la conectividad regional del país.​ Instalaciones El aeropuerto cubre 201 acres y su pista mide 1700 × 30 m.​​ En la rampa hay posiciones de estacionamiento para dos aeronaves ATR 72. La terminal ocupa 3000 m² y tiene una capacidad de 100 pasajeros.​ Aerolíneas y destinos Se daba servicio a las siguientes ciudades en diciembre de 2018:​ Estadísticas Ver fuente y consulta Wikidata.

Paljor Stadium

Paljor Stadium is a football stadium located in Gangtok, Sikkim, India. It can host 30,000 spectators. Besides earlier hosting the I-League and the I-League 2, the stadium also hosts matches of various local divisions and tournaments. History Foundation Chogyal nicknamed the stadium around 1943 because Britishers and a few members of the aristocratic family of Sikkim played at the Polo Ground. The old timers recall this flat piece of land being used by the Tibetan traders to station their herds of sheep en route to Sikkim and India. Around 1939 one of the political officers, Sir Basil Gould had sanctioned Rs.3000 (approx $75.2634) to the forest department and ordered that the grass demonstration farm be set up there. The whole task was completed in April 1941. Later Paljor Stadium proved to be a major venue of all public meetings, including those of Prime ministers and religious leaders. Renovation It was on 24 July 1998 that a High power state committee constituted by the government took a decision to upgrade and renovate the existing Paljor Stadium. The project of redesigning and modernizing cost was around ₹ 30 Crores, out of which ₹ 15.36 Crores was from DONER contribution and remaining from the State coffer. The actual work started off in 2001. The modern look of the stadium was designed by M/S Architect Consultant Pvt. Ltd., Kolkata and its execution was assigned to Civil Engineers Enterprise Ltd. Kolkata. Initially the project was scheduled to be completed by March 2004, but owning the additional work the date was shifted to April 2005. Upgradation of the stadium The work on the upgradation of Paljor Stadium was started in April 2001 and has been completed and the Stadium has been since handed over to the Department of Sports & Youth Affairs. The Stadium has an estimated sitting capacity of 25,000 spectators and the accumulated cost of construction stands at Rs. 30.70 crores.
