Bokaro: Bokaro airport is witnessing several activities for expanding its capacity under the Government of India’s flagship scheme UDAN (Ude Desh Ka Aam Nagrik).
The Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower has been recently installed and now it is technically ready, said an official adding, “But a lot of works including airstrip and infrastructure development is yet to start.” With the investment of Rs 8 crore this ATC tower has been installed by AAI. The advantage of this tower is that it is a mobile tower, can be moved at any locations while its height is also adjustable according to the requirements, said the official.
The other developmental and infrastructure development work is hindered only due to the apathetic attitude of Forest Department officials, said an official on anonymity.
At least 6000 trees will be axed while over 1000 tree would be transplanted for the expansion and development of the Bokaro airport. About 1000 trees which girth (radios) is less than 7 inches would be transplanted at some other place and it does not need any kind of permission (for the transplantation), said a forest official.
Despite getting the nod to fell the trees, district forest officials yet to decide where to keep the felled trees and the work is hindered since past120 days, he said.
The cutting of the trees has been done in two-phase, in the first phase, 4000 trees would be axed, informed an official. But the district administration and Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) authority other related departments will have to plant five trees for every tree would be felled, an official said.
