New Delhi India January 4, ANI Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy met with Union Minister for Civil Aviation Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday and asked him to support the development of Bhogapuram Greenfield International Airport.
The Chief Minister stated that the construction of Greenfield Airport in Bhogapuram would help in the development of Visakhapatnam and its surrounding areas, as this is one of the important projects in the State.
The Chief Minister reminded Andhra Pradesh in its official release that the Centre had promised to provide aid for the development of Andhra Pradesh in all sectors, including aviation, for a period of ten years during the State Bifurcation in 2014, with both financial assistance and securing permissions.
He stated that the airport is being built at Bhogapuram, as there is no possibility of expanding the current airport in Visakhapatnam, which is adjacent to Eastern Naval Base. The Chief Minister urged Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia to extend support for the completion of the airport in the next three years.
