Approach road handicap for new Ranchi airport

Ranchi: The broken false ceiling and the worn-out look of Ranchi airport will continue to project a negative image of Jharkhand to outsiders. A new world-class airport that will replace the existing terminal building is ready but its fate is uncertain.
A range of trial runs has begun at the new integrated terminal building at the airport. But the terminal building has no approach road.
The construction of 1 km approach road, which had begun 18 months ago, is yet to be completed. A unit of the Indian Army situated nearby has time and again objected to the construction of the approach road. The latest in a series came on last Friday.
VVG Raju, general manager (project), said a group of army personnel arrived at the construction site and physically stopped the construction.
