Tulasipur, Feb 12 : A detailed project report (DPR) has been prepared for expansion of the Tarigaon Airport located in Ward No 12 of Dang Tulsipur Sub-Metropolitan City. The DPR provides four different options to expand the airport, especially its runway.
Deputy Mayor of Tulsipur
sub-metropolitan city, Sayani Chaudhary, shared that there are options such as
extending the runway to the north by expanding it to 1,700 meters. Another
option is to lease the land of local residents and expand the airport.
At present, the runway of the
airport is only 750 meters long. It is not possible to land aircraft with more
than 19 seats.
Chaudhary said that the options
given in the DPR will be discussed with the stakeholders in Tulsipur. The
Tulsipur sub-metropolitan city has formed a committee under the leadership of
Deputy Mayor Chaudhary to work for expansion of the airport.
