What Patna Master Plan 2031 says here

  • Master Plan 2031 first proposed a new airport at Dumri, Punpun (14.11 sq km). In 2016 the planning committee recommended a civil enclave at Bihta Air Force station instead, and that was made part of the plan (PMP p92–93).
  • Land along the Punpun river is marked for bio-conservation (PMP p72).
  • Proposed 45 m roads: Naubatpur–Punpun, Punpun internal roads and Punpun–Fatuha (PMP p85–87).
  • The draft township plan (2047) proposes a Sports City (~100 acres) at Dumri, the Bihar Judicial Academy (~38.77 acres) in Punpun and a Jat Dumri railway junction. Inside the special area it overrides Master Plan 2031.

Check these before you pay a token

1Core area or not?

The 19 core-area villages are not named in the written notification — only on the plan map. Before buying, confirm with the Punpun circle office or PMAA whether your mauza is in the core area.

2Punpun town wards

Only wards 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 of Punpun Nagar Panchayat are in the township. Check the ward on the holding papers.

3Land pooling

The township plan uses land pooling and other land-assembly methods, and farmers in parts of Punpun have protested. Keep khatiyan, jamabandi, rent receipt and mutation in your name — these count for pooling or compensation.

4Same village names

Chamuchak Majhauli and Kalianpur Basiawan each appear twice in the Punpun list — separate villages. Match the thana number and mauza, not just the name.

5"Airport aa raha hai"

The plan moved the airport option to Bihta in 2016. Don't pay an "airport premium" on a Punpun plot without checking the current status yourself.
