Bokaro: Although Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) served notices to the squatters settled around the airport here, which is being expanded into a commercial one, illegal residents continue to enter the premise from the Dundibagh area by scaling the eight-feet high boundary wall just to defecate.
The workers engaged in the construction of the boundary walls find it difficult to work amid the filth. A labour said, “After coming to work each morning, we pour mud on the excreta to stop the smell, which otherwise makes it difficult for us to work.”
The squatters use the scaffolding of the new boundary wall to enter the premises. Wilfred Kerketta, deputy general manager and the in-charge of air traffic control at Ranchi’s Birsa Munda International Airport, said, “We will take a tour of Bokaro Airport next week to assess the completion of work.”
Expressing satisfaction over the progress of the project, Venkateswaralu said Prime Minister Narendra Modi may inaugurate the new terminal building on August 15, 2022.
India s northeast region has been experiencing a tourism boom in recent times with a rapidly expanding network of airports, which has been a most significant contributor. Airports Authority of India (AAI), the largest airport operator has been tirelessly striving to establish a robust, futuristic airport infrastructure in North East India that can meet the need of the projected influx of passengers in coming years. Major airports in the region are receiving a facelift to offer world-class facilities. Equipped with the latest technology, the new terminal buildings are an integral component of the expansion programme, AAI said in an official statement.
