Concerned over the slow pace of expansion work of airport, Bokaro Deputy Commissioner KN Jha held a meeting with the concerned officials on Saturday.
The Airport Authority of India (AAI) officials were also scheduled to attend the meeting but none arrived, informed Hema Prasad SDO Chas.
Unauthorised slum adjacent to Bokaro airport boundary wall has put a halt on the expansion and development work, informed the SDO.
“Residents of the slum surrounding the airport have broken the newly constructed boundary three times earlier and now they have made a big hole in the wall to use the inside area for open defecation,” said a contract a worker engaged in expansion work.
