JEYPORE: After a delay of four months, the Jeypore airstrip may finally be operational soon as the district administration wrapped up all the remaining upgradation works ahead of the visit of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) team on Friday for final verification.
On Tuesday, a team of district administration officials led by Collector Md Abdaal Akhtar visited the airstrip for a final review after the remaining works like fencing and pothole repairs were completed. The Civil Aviation Ministry had selected Jeypore airstrip under its flagship UDAN scheme to foster regional connectivity in 2017 and work had begun only two years back.
