AS PART of the Centre’s Regional Connectivity Udan Scheme, flight operations resumed on Tuesday from Cooch Behar Airport, as an India One Air flight to Kolkata took off at 3:05 pm.
The flight was flagged off by Nisith Pramanik, Minister of State, Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports. No state government representatives were present.
“The Bengal government built the Cooch Behar airport. Yet, today, we see that BJP leaders are claiming credit for the same. I want to tell the Centre that we want bigger planes to land in Cooch Behar,” Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said during a government programme in Siliguri.
