Jamshedpur: The Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCI) here has urged the Madhu Koda government to address the various long-pending issues marring the state's industrial development.
On air connectivity for the steel city, which apart from steel and automobile giants Tata Steel and Tata Motors, houses hundreds of other industrial units, Koda had told the delegation that the government was looking for a suitable international airport site in the Kandra/Ghatisila areas 35km & 50km, respectively, from here.
"We have several renowned companies, but foreign buyers are unable to reach the place by air, which is affecting their business," added the SCCI president.
The steel city already has an airstrip operated by Tata Steel. Supported by the steel major, Air Deccan has already declared its intention of starting service soon.
