Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Tuesday reviewed the work of Chipi airport in Sindhudurg district. Sources said the airport’s operations can start from March 1 if the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) gives a go-ahead.
Thackeray held a meeting with the DGCA officers and senior government officials among others. “Last month, the DGCA had asked for certain compliances to be done to start the operations of the airport. All the compliances have been done by the contractor. If there are any other issues that need to be complied with, it will be done at the earliest,” said an official.
