Bikaner to have Asia's largest war exercise centre

Bikaner, Aug 16 (UNI) Bikaner is likely to have Asia's largest war exercise centre near its firing range.

Rajasthan's Revenue Minister Ramnarain Dudi told newsmen here yesterday that the Defence Ministry has said that Asia's biggest war exercise centre would be built near Bikaner's field firing range and areas under at least 62 villages have been identified for the purpose.

He said a relocation strategy of these villagers is being prepared. The district administration has sent a Rs 3,000 crore proposal to the Centre for the purpose.

Replying to a query, Mr Dudi said the villagers would probably be relocated in the Indira Gandhi Canal Project area and would be given a handsome compensation package.
