The Central government has sanctioned a proposal of Rs 1,000 crore towards setting up an airport at Ciethu, near Kohima in Nagaland.
All development projects of the North-East are put on fast-track and a follow-up is done on regular basis to complete these projects within stipulated timeline. The Central government ensures equitable development of Nagaland and at the same time, finds a lasting end to insurgency-related incidents.
The total estimated cost to set up the airport could be around Rs 6,000 crore.
