This has been reported in thestatesman.com dated 30 June 2016.
The state government has indicated that the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has agreed to hand over 132.66 acres and 114 acres of airport land (including runway) at Balurghat and Malda airports, respectively, with rights for development and use by the state government for a period of 30 years at a token cost of one rupee.
The Cabinet decision has already been taken and a memorandum of understanding was signed at Uttarkanya in this regard. PWD will undertake the development work of the existing runway at Balurghat airport immediately. The development of Malda airport will also be taken up by PWD as early as possible.
Simultaneously, efforts will be made to launch fixed wing aircraft services at Malda and Balurghat airports with the help of the AAI. Incidentally, the chief minister had held a meeting in September 2015 with Union minister of civil aviation at Nabanna. The issue was brought to his notice at that time.
