Meghalaya to soon have modern airports

New Delhi: The exotic northeastern state of Meghalaya is all set to get three five-star hotels, said Meghalaya Chief Secretary Ranjan Chaterjee here Monday. The Shillong and Tura airports in the state are also being upgraded, he added.
Referring to the issue of infrastructure development and communication, Chatterjee said that the upgradation of airports in Shillong and Tura were on track.
Meghalaya Chief Minister D.D. Lapang, in an interview to IANS earlier this month, had said: "Accessibility to the northeast is a major challenge. For this reason, we wanted the Shillong airport to be upgraded and I had a word with the civil aviation authorities in this regard. "I am happy that the authorities have agreed to it. After upgradation, communication will become a lot easier. For instance, people can take a flight to Bangkok and reach in just two hours."
