Cooch Behar: Over 40 Bengal police personnel posted at the Cooch Behar airport were withdrawn on Sunday, a day after a nine-seater aircraft had landed for a trial run.
Cooch Behar BJP MP Nisith Pramanik was on board the aircraft on Saturday and had said flights from Cooch Behar would resume next month as he had promised during the Lok Sabha election campaign.
“In total, 46 policemen had been posted for the security of the airport. From this morning, we could not find any of them. A plane is at the airport and the entire infrastructure has no security now. We are feeling insecure as the flight service will start in a couple of days. I am in a fix and have informed my senior officials,” said Biplab Mondal, the airport director.
No intimation reached him about the withdrawal of the armed policemen till Sunday afternoon, he added.
The Cooch Behar district magistrate and superintendent of police were unavailable to know the reason for the security withdrawal.
A Calcutta-based company will operate the nine-seater plane to Bagdogra and Guwahati from Cooch Behar.
