Air Networking The Only Hope For Meghalaya’s Regional Connectivity Is To Materialize Soon


Continued land dispute over airport development has finally resolved while one section for runway purpose is temporarily on hold as the Supreme Court has not given any clearance yet according to the Advocate General of Meghalaya.


Completion deadline for the airport infrastructure is four months where for the runway disputed area the work progress is to take place soon near the airport boundary as the North Eastern Council (NEC) assured financial support for its development once SC gives clearance on acquisition.


Last May 2016 the apex court had to halt the work process as complain was registered by Nongsder based land owners who did not derive the compensation as promised to them. The state government is fighting its level best to establish a much needed national networking mode for expanding its horizon and attract greater inflow of tourists including fulfillment of the absence of rail and road networking with rest of India. Meghalaya is in the acute need of proper central networking mode as it is a landlocked region where its current status is that it has only one operational ATR flight for Shillong and Kolkata connectivity only.
