Uttar Pradesh to get first tabletop airport in Chitrakoot

The first tabletop airport of Uttar Pradesh in the Vindhya hill range of Chitrakoot will be operational in the coming months, giving a big boost to tourism and pilgrimage, especially in this temple town and the entire Bundelkhand region.

The `Tabletop Airport` is an airport located and built on top of a plateau or hilly surface, with one or both ends of the runway overlooking a drop.

According to a government spokesman, "currently, the work on approach roads is going on at the airport construction site, and it will take some months to finish that work."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been giving special impetus to the development of the Bundelkhand region, may inaugurate the Rs 146.5-crore airport project once it is ready.
