The Indian central government has granted approval for the long-awaited Muzaffarpur Airport project, marking a significant development for Bihar’s aviation sector. This decision follows the announcement of a similar project in Purnia and promises to enhance connectivity and boost economic activity in the region. The green light for the tender and construction of the Patahi Airport has sparked widespread celebration, particularly within the Tirhut division.
Former minister and BJP leader Suresh Sharma, along with supporters, celebrated the news near the airport, distributing sweets to local residents and party workers. Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary also shared the information on social media, highlighting the project’s potential to boost development and connectivity in North Bihar through pre-fabricated steel structure construction. He expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar’s Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar.
The establishment of the Muzaffarpur Airport provides an additional option for air travel within Bihar, creating a wave of optimism across North Bihar. The project is expected to foster educational, commercial, economic, and cultural activities. There’s a strong demand for air services in the Tirhut region. The initiative is expected to benefit not just business travelers but also tourists. The airport is anticipated to facilitate flights to several major cities soon.
Former minister Suresh Sharma described the development as historic for Muzaffarpur and the entire Tirhut region, fulfilling a long-standing public demand. He credited the collaborative efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for making this vision a reality.
