Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu assured Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma that the Airports Authority of India would formally submit a proposal to take over Lengpui Airport, the only airport in the state. The proposal will be examined by Mizoram authorities.

The leaders met in Delhi with senior Airports Authority of India officials to discuss the pending takeover and explore the possibility of building a new greenfield airport in southern Mizoram. They also reviewed heliport development under the Pradhan Mantri – Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik (PM-UDAN) scheme. Naidu committed to pursuing the proposal for the new airport.

Singh informed that private schools in Mizoram can apply to partner with Sainik Schools under the Public-Private Partnership model.
