Officials visit Balurghat airstrip

Balurghat: The Airports Authority of India officials along with South Dinajpur district administrative officials visited the site of the proposed Balurghat airstrip to solve land dispute which has erupted and thus made the future of the project uncertain.
Dispute arose after residents of four villages situated behind the airport claimed a connecting road with the town, which they feared would be blocked once the airport campus wall comes up. The district administration has succeeded in settling the issue with the villagers after promising to leave a 2 metre area for passage. However, evacuation would be necessary.
