Arunachal Pradesh urges Centre to develop airports in the state

Arunachal Pradesh has urged the Centre to develop airports and other ancillaries in the state in its new aviation policy and proposed to include a provision for construction of new airports of short take off and landing type in the prospective locations of the state. The new policy should provide for a regional cargo hub in the north eastern region, which would widen the scope of various region-specific trade and commerce activities. Also, the cost of air turbine fuel should be rationalised. Contact: Government of Arunachal Pradesh. Website: www.arunachalpradesh.gov.in
