Sagar Collector Told To Look For Suitable Land For Airport

· Free Press Journal

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): As the possibilities of developing Dhana airstrip into an airport are bleak or almost naught due to certain factors, the aviation department has asked Sagar collector to look for a suitable place for the airport project. People in the know of the matter said Dhana airstrip could not be expanded on either side due to the hilly terrain around it.

The department now is focusing on having an airport between Sagar and Bina. The reason is that Bina is transforming into a major integrated refinery and petrochemical hub. Hence in future, it is going to have major business-related activities. It is learnt that around 200 acre land would be needed for the airport project.
