Airports in Hisar, Karnal not a priority

Hisar: The project to set up airports in Hisar and Karnal seems to be not a priority as an RTI information reveals that there has been no concrete move from the state or the Centre about setting up the airports.

In reply to a query filed by state convener of the Haryana Soochna Adhikar Manch Subhash, the Haryana Civil Aviation Department said a team of the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has inspected the sites for the airports in Hisar and Karnal on October 29-30, 2012, on the request of the Haryana Government. The AAI team prepared a feasibility report to develop these two sites as domestic airports.

But the report is still under consideration, the department said in its reply filed on January 12, 2015.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, during his visit to Hisar on December 29, last year, announced that the Hisar airport would be upgraded and the work would be completed in a time-bound manner.
