Addressing media persons, Chief Secretary DP Wahlang said, “To ensure there is no escalation of law and order in the state as well as in Ri Bhoi and East Khasi Hills, we have decided that we will write from the government to the Airport Authority of India to deny them landing facility for their flight tomorrow.”
The State Cabinet on Wednesday approved the proposal to acquire additional land for expansion of the two airports in the state - Shillong Airport and Baljek Airport.
The state government has decided to seek exemption from the Centre on certain guidelines in order to pave way for the expansion of the Shillong Airport.
