BOKARO: Prime Minister Narendra Modi renewed the hopes of Bokaro residents about promise of operationalisation of airport in the city for the public. While inaugurating the Deoghar airport on Tuesday, he said the Centre would soon make the airports located at Bokaro and Dumka functional.
The foundation for Deoghar and Bokaro airports were laid three months apart in 2018. However, while Deoghar airport started its operations on Tuesday, the Bokaro airport’s expansion project is far from over. The Bokaro airport is owned by the Bokaro Steel Plant (BSL) of SAIL and being developed by the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
