Our Correspondent

Itanagar: Chief Secretary Naresh Kumar has directed departments concerned to carry out the assigned work at the earliest for completion of the much-hyped Greenfield Airport at Hollongi within the committed timeframe of the Airport Authority of India, which is March 2022.

Chairing a meeting here to discuss the peripheral works to be undertaken by the state government for the airport, the chief secretary emphasised on quality works and also to avoid unnecessary pressure on state exchequer.

He directed all the executing departments to submit genuine estimates in their Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). The Chief Secretary also suggested engineers to prepare DPRs in such a manner that there is scope for expansion in future, an official communique informed here on Thursday. During the discussion on construction of 2.5 kilometre approach road to Hollongi Airport from National Highway, he asked the PWD (executing agency) to plan and execute a road with global standard. ‘Good landscaping with scope for green plantation with proper lighting could be included in the DPR,’ Kumar suggested.

Commissioner Power G S Meena, Secretary Civil Aviation S K Jain, Secretary PWD Y W Ringu, concerned chief engineers and other stake holders were present in the meeting, the communique added.
