Arunachal demands priority to greenfield airport project

Arunachal Pradesh, one of the seven sisters of North-East, has asked the Centre to be "liberal" and not consider profitability in the construction of the proposed greenfield airport project in Itanagar. It has asked the Centre to accord priority to the airport project, which when completed will be the state's maiden civilian airport.
The project has already been delayed by more than two years for which 'in-principle' approval was given by the Union civil aviation ministry in September 2009.
Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim are the only two states that presently do not have any airport.
