Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives in Bihar on Monday to open Purnea Airport and introduce development initiatives valued at Rs 36,000 crore. The newly constructed facility features a 2,800-meter runway capable of accommodating Airbus and Boeing aircraft. Terminal operations will utilize a 4,000-square-meter building designed with contemporary passenger facilities. Airport officials anticipate the infrastructure will manage regional air traffic demands for four decades. Local residents express enthusiasm about avoiding lengthy journeys to Patna or Kolkata for flight connections.
Modi will establish the National Makhana Board during his visit to strengthen Bihar's agricultural sector. The state produces approximately 90 percent of India's total Makhana output through local farming operations. Board initiatives will provide farmers with enhanced access to technology, improved post-harvest processes, and expanded export opportunities. Railway infrastructure receives attention through foundation ceremonies for new lines and train service launches. Community members view these developments as transformative steps toward regional economic advancement and improved connectivity prospects.
