AAI team on airport recce

Hailakandi: Silchar in south Assam might become the first place of the Northeast to have two airports.

A five-member committee of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) completed its two-day visit to Silchar on Tuesday to see the land and infrastructure for proposed international-level airport in Cachar district.

If the airport is constructed, the existing Kumbhirgram airport, 25km from Silchar town, will be used to transport goods.

The Kumbhirgram airport is located on Air Force authority land.

The members of the AAI team were Varun Kumar Lau, Manjit Singh, Soumen Podder, Sunil Kumar and Rajpal Lawasia.

They visited Silcoorie, Dolu and Khoril and mainly observed the infrastructure, feasibility, connection with Silchar town, passenger amenities and other technical issues related to an international-level airport.

They will submit a report to the authorities and the findings will be discussed in the AAI meeting, sources said.
