Citizens Forum chairman demands airport in Kolhan

A K Srivastava, chairman, Jamshedpur Citizens Forum, has said that there has been a persistent demand from the citizen as well as representatives of trade, commerce and industry for establishing airport of international standard in Adityapur, Jamshedpur or nearby area.

In a press communiqué issued on Wednesday, Srivastava pointed out that there is provision for locating airport in the Adityapur Master Plan, while the second suitable place for an airport is the abandoned military airport at nearby Chakulia.

He said that Jamshedpur MP Vidyut Varan Mahato has also taken up the matter with Prime Minister and Civil Aviation Minister and he hoped something will come out of the efforts in the near future.

Establishment of an airport will take time, as all construction needs to be of the highest quality level and inspection is required at various stages.

In the meantime, he made a few suggestions to alleviate the problems of passengers residing in the Kolhan region.

He is of the view that if implemented, his suggestions will also help in attracting investments in the region.
