Itanagar: Arunachal Pradesh Civil Aviation Minister Balo Raja has urged the Centre to fulfill its assurances made earlier regarding expansion of air connectivity to and from the state, coinciding with the upcoming inauguration of the new terminal building of Donyi Polo Airport, here. In a letter to union Civil Aviation Minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu recently, Raja reminded him of the commitment made during a meeting held in New Delhi in March and May this year.

“You had kindly assured us of introducing new flight services to additional southern cities, and also of commencing daily services between Itanagar and Delhi in parallel with the inauguration of the airport’s new terminal building,” Raja pointed out in his letter, a copy of which was made available on Thursday. He stated that buoyed by the positive assurance, the state government had shared the development with the public through the local media, raising expectations among the citizens.

Raja noted that the new terminal building at the Donyi Polo Airport (Hollongi) is nearing completion and is expected to be inaugurated in the first week of August next. He urged the  civil aviation ministry to act on its earlier commitments in the larger public interest.
