AAI ED slams Forest officials over delay in expansion of Bokaro Airport

Bokaro: Over delay in completion of expansion and modernisation of Bokaro airport, the officials engaged at work have come under fire of AAI Executive Director on Sunday.

Expressing deep concern over the delay in starting air services at Bokaro airport the Executive Director of Airport Authority of India (AAI) K Bhattacharya asked his officials to start services, anyhow, in the next six months.

The ED also directed his officials to expedite the construction work, so that air services could start by June this year. Bhattacharya along with AAI official’s team rushed at Bokaro to take an account of ongoing expansion and development work of the airport.

Annoyed over the attitude of district forest department for felling the trees Bhattacharya asked his officials (AAI) to engage contractor on their own end to remove trees if forest department did not starts the removal work. “The district forest department officials are not showing their keen interest in the removal of the trees inside the airport premises earliest and the construction works of terminal building and main building are trapped,” he said.

“Without removal of the trees, civil work could not be possible,” added Bhattacharya.

Earlier, Bokaro Deputy Commissioner MK Barnawal ordered Van Vikas Nigam to remove the trees inside the airport premises but despite the order, officials are not paying any heed, he said.
