Raipur: Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to upgrade the Swami Vivekananda Airport here as an international airport.
Demanding a cargo hub also, the Chief Minister said in a letter that this would enhance the growth potential of the state.
He said that despite a global recession due to Covid-19, Chhattisgarh has been among the fastest growing states in the country.
On the industrial front, after showing an outstanding performance, it is poised for better projections.
