MP Aviation Department Seeks Local Administration Help To Identify Two Helipad Sites

· Free Press Journal

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): After failing to find suitable land for two helipads, one near CM House and the other near Mantralaya, the aviation department has turned to the local administration for help in identifying appropriate sites.

Sources in the aviation department said that additional chief secretary Sanjay Shukla has asked Bhopal collector Priyank Mishra to help in finding suitable land for helipads.

The district administration is now working to identify suitable parcels of land for the two helipads.

The district administration has been advised to focus on areas near Pandit Khusilal Ayurvedic Hospital and Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), while surveying the land.

The district collector Mishra, talking to Free Press, said, “We are searching for the right patch of land. The team of revenue officers is working and hopefully, we will soon be able to identify the right piece of land.”

Previously, the housing board had prepared a plan to have a rooftop helipad facility on the buildings to come up in place of Satpura Bhawan and Vindhyanchal.

It is learnt that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) did not permit the rooftop helipad.

Now, the aviation department is pinning its hopes on the local administration to find land for two helipads, one near CM House and the other near Mantralaya.

Helipads planned to ease traffic restrictions

The aviation department long ago came up with the plan to construct a helipad near CM House and one near Mantralaya to avoid traffic restrictions during the CM cavalcade movement.

The idea behind this is that CM would use a chopper to go to Mantralaya from his residence. Earlier, the department had hunted several sites but could not find suitable land.

Previously, it had focussed on the open land available between Mantralaya and Vallabh Bhawan for the helipad construction, but this area is surrounded by a large number of trees.

Similarly, various locations near CM House were considered for helipad construction, but each posed certain challenges.

Notably, the state government is expected to receive delivery of a new modern ACH 160 helicopter from the French company “Airbus” in the coming months.

Meta's new app, Pocket, lets you vibe code the memes of your dreams

  • Meta's new app, Pocket, is officially launching in the US.
  • The app lets users create and share interactive content "you can play with."
  • Pocket comes from the team behind a Gizmo, a similar app.

Meta's new vibe-coding social app, Pocket, is officially here.

"We're starting to roll out Pocket, a new app that turns your ideas into interactive creations you can play with and share right from your phone," a Meta spokesperson told Business Insider.

Pocket, which quietly launched as a test in July, is a social feed that lets users turn text prompts into interactive media. Think mini games and quirky memes.

The app was developed by the team behind Gizmo, a similar app from Atma Sciences Inc., which was founded by ex-Snapchat staffers. Business Insider scooped in March that Meta hired the Atma Sciences team and acquired a non-exclusive license to its technology.

Posts on Pocket are called "gizmos."

Pocket and Gizmo are pretty much identical app experiences. Atma Sciences announced on Thursday that it is shutting down the original Gizmo app.

Other startups, like Sekai and Wabi, are also taking a stab at turning vibe coding into a social experience, and investors are taking note. Then there are creators who are carving out a niche by turning interactive mini apps into viral content.

How Meta's vibe-coding app works

You open Pocket to a vertical feed. Instead of scrolling past pictures or videos, you scroll through posts called "gizmos." You can interact with these posts by dragging, drawing, or tapping on the screen. There are comments, likes, and reposts. You can't DM, but you can share links to gizmos.

To make a gizmo, all you have to do is type up a prompt. For instance, I prompted: An old desktop computer where when I click on the screen, this image appears. (It's a meme.) Within seconds, Meta's Pocket app created an interactive post.

Here's the gizmo I made, including a meme I uploaded.

There, I did it! I vibe coded!

If the output isn't exactly what you dreamed up, you can tweak it. Pocket lets you fine-tune the prompt, adjust the visuals, and add music. And if you like someone else's gizmo, you can remix it with your own twist.

Pocket runs on Meta's Muse Spark model, developed by Meta Superintelligence Labs.

Meta doesn't have plans to integrate Pocket with other apps, like Instagram, at the moment, the spokesperson told Business Insider.

That could be fun, though.

Meta's 'family' of apps is getting bigger

Pocket is one of Meta's latest stand-alone apps. The company appears to be ramping up its strategy of launching new apps, since reaping benefits from the success of Threads, its X (formerly Twitter) competitor.

Other apps Meta has launched recently include:

New apps mean new places to unlock advertising.

I didn't spot any ads on the nascent Pocket app — but I can see a potential future with interactive advertisements from brands or sponsored content from creators.
