Dimapur: A delegation of Naga Students’ Federation (NSF) called on Union Minister for Civil Aviation, Ajit Singh, at his official residence in New Delhi today and submitted a memorandum highlighting the plight of Dimapur Airport.
The Federation in its 3-point memorandum urged the Union Minister to increase the frequency of flights to Dimapur from the present four days a week to a daily basis. It further called for introduction of direct flights from Delhi to Dimapur and to initiate immediate developmental measures to bring Dimapur Airport at par with airports in other metropolitan cities.
According to NSF, Ajit Singh, gave a patient hearing to the delegation and assured to pursue the matter with all seriousness before the present UPA tenure came to an end.
