Deoghar Airport takes off

Ranchi: The construction of Deoghar airport over 625 acres will provide the holy city with an international connectivity and provide a new intercontinental gateway to Jharkhand. Chief Minister Arjun Munda on Tuesday laid the foundation stone for the Deoghar airport in an online programme from his official residence.
The Rs 350-crore Deoghar airport project will facilitate more than five million people who arrive every year for pilgrimage at the Baba Baidyanath Temple. The airport will also provide an international market for local products developed in the Santhal Pargana region.
“The realisation of every individual’s dream is the responsibility of the Government. The Government is working to upgrade the lifestyle of people in the State and therefore, is serious about all agriculture and other projects in pipeline, including the ultra mega power project of Deoghar and the Govindpur-Sahebganj road construction,” said Munda.
