Chief Secretary Pushes Purnia Airport To Open By September

Bihar Chief Secretary Amrit Lal Meena inspected construction work at Purnia Airport on 3 July and urged engineers to meet the August deadline so flights can begin soon after. Airport Authority of India, state officials and Indian Air Force representatives reported rapid progress on the interim terminal, apron, 2.8 kilometre runway and approach roads.

The interim terminal alone carries an outlay of about Rs 0.46 billion, while bids for a permanent terminal will be invited shortly. The state has already secured 69 acres for the project, whose runway will be the longest in Bihar.

Meena said the airport will lift trade, jobs and regional connectivity across Seemanchal and serve passengers bound for Nepal. Senior figures at the review included AAI Chairman Vipin Kumar, Additional Chief Secretary Dr S Siddharth and Purnia Commissioner Rajesh Kumar.
