NEW DELHI: The Civil Aviation Ministry has requested the Indian Air Force (IAF) to allow resumption of construction work for the Darbhanga airport, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Monday.
The Darbhanga airport is being constructed as a civil enclave, which is part of an IAF air base allocated for civil aviation operations.
“A request has been made to the IAF to allow the work to restart. Once we begin, all works should be over by October 2020,” the civil aviation minister said on Twitter.
