Bokaro: The work to upgrade Bokaro airport has resumed with the felling and shifting of 6,771 trees here.
Jharkhand State Forest Development Nigam Limited (JSFDNL) has begun felling trees from Saturday. Disagreements over the fate of the trees delayed the project to upgrade Bokaro airport by more than one and half years.
In the recently held parliamentary elections, opposition parties blamed BJP MP P N Singh and the state government for the delay.
An officer of JSFDNL, Arvind Kumar, said, "Around 1,772 trees will be shifted. The remaining trees will be cut within two months, following which necessary infrastructure will be put up. The chopped trees will be transported to a closed BSL School, and the wood will be auctioned. Necessary steps are being taken in this regard."
The foundation ceremony of the work to upgrade Bokaro airport was conducted on August 25, 2017 by the chief minister of Jharkhand, Raghubar Das, and the Union minister of state for Civil Aviation, Jayant Sinha. Then the authorities had announced that the refurbished Bokaro airport will be ready by December 25, 2018.
