Air traffic resumes in LGBI Airport

Guwahati: Air traffic in the Lokapriya Gopinath Bordoloi international airport resumed today as the instrumental landing facility could be made operational and the poor visibility condition of around 2,000 metre could be overcome. According to Director, Regional Meteorology Centre (RMC) here, H Pathak, the people of the region would have to wait for a favourable weather condition expected in April. The present weather condition will last for few more days, he said.
He attributed the present weather condition to a long period of deficit rainfall over the NE region since October, 2008 — that is covering the post-monsoon, between October and December, 2008 and winter, between January and February this year, periods. The deficit rainfall experienced by Arunachal in the post monsoon period was 38 per cent and it was 30 per cent in winter.
