DIMAPUR, JULY 26 (MExN): Nagaland Lok Sabha MP, Neiphiu Rio on Tuesday stated that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Government of India has approved for developing Chiethu Greenfield Airport in Kohima under the new Civil Aviation Policy. A press communiqué received from MP Rio said the development of Chiethu Airport has been a long felt desire of the people of Nagaland and actively pursued since the past decade for its realization. Keeping in view of the State capital not having an airport and the overall poor air connectivity in the State and the North East Region, Rio requested the GoI to take up the Chiethu Airport as a national project and to undertake development of air services and improvement of air connectivity in the northeastern region as topmost priority. The Nagaland MP also congratulated the Government of India for approving the new Civil Aviation Policy, which has already come into effective implementation.
