Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to direct the Civil Aviation Ministry to issue site clearance approval and No Objection Certificate (NoC) for the international airport at Bhogapuram, near Visakhapatnam.
Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy has also written to Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on the issue.
In the letter written to Mr. Modi, the Chief Minister said that the airport in Visakhapatnam had been playing an important role in the development of the city as a economic and tourist hub, and so the airport should be expanded to operate several civil flights and incubate further growth.
