He is revered equally by Hindus and Muslims, as by people of other religions around the world. Millions of devotees from all around the world come every year to seek the blessings of Sai Baba of Shirdi. Now, easily accessible by major cities in the region, it is one of the most visited pilgrimage center in India. Finally, the metro rail project is also in full swing which will add to the growth of Nagpur.Shirdi was once a small village in Ahamad Nagar District of Maharashtra, away from the limelight and people’s attractions. He also envisaged that by 2019 Nagpur will be developed in to a global city.

The sea plane will fly in the morning to arrive at Shirdi and return Nagpur the same day. So, Nitin Gadkari is planning to shorten the travel time between the two cities. For a pilgrim from Nagpur traveling through bus or train, it takes ten hours of travel time. Both this holy places are being visited by thousands and hundreds of people every day.

To shorten the travel time between the two places, Road Transport and Highways Minister-Nitin Gadkari says that a sea plane service will soon be launched from Ambajhari Lake to Shirdi via Anand Sagar Lake in Shegaon. This holy shrine of ‘Sai Baba’ is located in the district of Ahmednagar and is around 500 kilometers away from Nagpur.
