Foundation Stone Laid for Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport: A New Era in Rajasthan Aviation

The foundation stone for the Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport in Rajasthan was laid, with key political figures present. The airport aims to boost regional connectivity with a capacity for 1,000 passengers. The project, initiated by the previous Congress government, faced delays but is now set to proceed swiftly.

The foundation stone for the much-anticipated Kota-Bundi Greenfield Airport was laid in Rajasthan's Bundi district on Saturday, marking a significant development in the region's aviation infrastructure.

In a ceremonial event, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, and Civil Aviation Minister K Ram Mohan Naidu graced the occasion, along with several state ministers. This project aims to significantly enhance regional connectivity with a capacity to handle around 1,000 passengers and includes a terminal building spanning 20,000 square metres.

Despite being initiated by the previous Congress government, the project had been delayed. Former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot expressed optimism that construction would now advance swiftly following the ceremony.
