AGARTALA, April 11 (TIWN): Agartala Airport's cargo handling capacity is not up to the mark, Tripura CM Biplab Deb said in NITI Aayog meeting.
"Improving the quantity and quality of flights, introducing charter flights, cargo carriers and ground infrastructure such as cold storage, night landing facilities will need immediate attention", CM told NITI Forum.
"There is a need to improve the Cargo handling capacity in the Airports to support the growing food processing industry in the state", he said.
"Agartala Airport needs to be declared as an International Airport and develop it as a hub of international travel particularly to Dhaka, Sylhet, Chittagong and South East Asian Countries like Tiwan, Hongkok, Bangkok etc", CM said.
