Construction of first ICP to be undertaken at Attari
CHIDAMBARAM TO LAY FOUNDATION STONE TOMORROW
New Delhi: February 19, 2010
The Union Home Minister, Shri P. Chidambaram will unveil the
foundation stone for the construction of an Integrated Check Post
(ICP) at Attari, Amritsar in Punjab tomorrow in the presence of the
Chief Minister of Punjab, Shri Parkash Singh Badal and other
dignitaries.
2. The setting up of ICPs along India's international border
is a major imitative, which the Government of India has taken as part
of a Plan scheme with an initial outlay of Rs.635 crore during the
11th Five Year Plan. The Attari Integrated Check Post is the first
ICP where construction is being undertaken. The estimated cost of the
Project is Rs. 150 crore.
3. The Department of Border Management has finalized the
Detailed Project Reports for 13 ICPs to be set up on the borders
between India and Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Myanmar.
4. The ICPs are envisaged to overcome the infrastructural
bottlenecks at the various entry and exit points on the land borders
of the country. They are expected to provide facilities for the
effective and efficient discharge of sovereign functions such as
security, immigration, customs, quarantine, etc. while also providing
support facilities for smooth cross-border movement of persons, goods
and transport.
5. A Bill has been introduced in Parliament for the
establishment of a Land Ports Authority of India (LPAI), which has
been envisaged as a statutory body for the planning, construction,
maintenance and management of these ICPs. This body will be vested
with powers on the lines of similar bodies like the Airports Authority
of India. Till the LPAI comes into existence, an Empowered
Steering Committee has been constituted under the Secretary (Border
Management) to undertake the functions that will be ultimately
discharged by the LPAI.
6. The ICP at Attari, spread over nearly 130 acres of land, is
expected to be completed by April 2011. The salient features of the
ICP are a modular design, dedicated lanes for each process, separate
gates for traffic across the border, least traffic conflicts,
self-evident routes, guide signage and administrative and facility
area. Facilities which will be available include:-
• Passenger terminal building
• Currency exchange
• Internet facility
• Cargo process building
• Cargo inspection sheds
• Warehouse/Cold storage
• Quarantine laboratory
• Clearing agents
• Banks
• Scanners
• CCTV/PA System
• Isolation Bay
• Parking
• Cafeteria
• Other public utilities.
