Union civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri has sought the intervention of Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar to expedite land acquisition for the development of Darbhanga airport.
“I would request your personal intervention to direct the concerned officers to expedite the acquisition of land for development of airport and also take up issues of raising the height of the boundary wall with IAF,” Puri wrote in his letter to the CM.
Earlier, Nitish Kumar had written to Puri in December regarding increased connectivity, renaming of airport, transfer of air force land, development as international airport besides cargo facility while raising security concerns.
