What do you propose to do about the modernisation of the Kolkata airport?
I want modernisation of the Kolkata airport, let that be understood. With the increase in passengers, cargo, and trade, particularly with East and South-East Asia, we have no alternative but to modernise our airport. The best option is for the Airports Authority of India to take up the project; if they cannot, then I will have to make a decision. We have also decided, after prolonged discussions, to go for a feasibility study to set up a Greenfield airport in South 24 Paraganas, between Sagar and Kulpi port.The Consultant of Engineering Service has conducted the preliminary study for this project.
