Partha Pratim Ray demands immediate air services at Cooch Behar airport

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Madam, the Ministry of Civil Aviation released an order dated March 4, 2014, regarding air transport system in various regions and remote areas in the country. In the order, a list of airports identified for providing air services was also published.

Fortunately, Cooch Behar airport, situated in my constituency, was included in the list as one of the important regional airports under the Airports Authority of India.

Unfortunately, till now air services in Cooch Behar airport are yet to be started. I demand to start the airport transport system as early as possible for the better interests of the people of Cooch Behar and Alipurduar.
