Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday virtually inaugurated the new integrated terminal building (NITB) of the Veer Savarkar International Airport at Port Blair in Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who reached the airport, unveiled a statue of VD Savarkar on the premises and took a tour of the establishment.
He was accompanied by the Union Minister of State for Road, Transport and Highways and Civil Aviation, General (Retd.) VK Singh.
The building is shaped like a shell, depicting the natural environs of the islands.
The entire terminal will have 100 per cent natural lighting for 12 hours a day, which will be achieved through skylights on the roof, they said.
Due to a surge in passenger traffic, the Airports Authority of India (AAI) constructed the NITB at an estimated cost of Rs 707.73 crore.
On Monday, PM Modi had posted some pictures of the terminal building, on his official Twitter handle.
