DEOGHAR AIRPORT inaugurated to boost cargo

The Deoghar International Airport, one of the most eagerly awaited projects in Jharkhand, was officially opened by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The airport would be the second international airport in the mineral-rich state after Ranchi, which opened in 2014. The airport has been opened with the goal of fostering infrastructural development, improving connectivity, and fostering ease of life in the area. Development and construction of the Deoghar airport took four years and took Rs 400 crores to complete. On 25 May 2018, Modi laid the cornerstone for this airport. The Airports Authority of India (AAI), in association with the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) and the Jharkhand government, had constructed the Deoghar airport.
