Nakkapalli not feasible for airport: Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju

Visakhapatnam:Nakkapalli, 80km away from the city, one of the probable sites for the proposed Greenfield airport does not seem to be technically feasible. Union civil aviation minister P. Ashok Gajapathi Raju on Monday said that wind direction in Nakkapalli from North to South is not feasible for setting  up an airport.
 Instead, Bhogapuram, between Vizag and Vizianagaram, is technically more suitable as the wind direction there is from east to west.  There has been stiff resistance from locals to Nakkapalli site as it is far away from the city.
