Bhubaneswar: Union Petroleum and Natural Gas, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Dharmendra Pradhan in a letter on Tuesday to Union Minister of Commerce and Industry and Civil Aviation Suresh Prabhu sought his personal intervention for setting up an airport at Paradip.
Pradhan mentioned that the Paradip port is being further expanded and modernised and by 2020 it would be able to handle 332 million tons of cargo per annum, thereby making it the largest cargo-handling port in India.
The grand vision of development of Paradip would remain incomplete without an airport, as the nearest airport, the Biju Pattanaik International Airport at Bhubaneswar is 135 km away and it takes more than three hours by road to reach Paradip from Bhubaneswar, he added.
