PM Modi to Open Northeast’s First Highway Emergency Airstrip

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate the Northeast’s first highway-based emergency airstrip in Assam. The facility can be used for defence operations and disaster response.

Officials say the airstrip enhances strategic readiness and connectivity in the region. It will allow fighter jets and emergency aircraft to land during crises.

The project is part of the government’s broader push to strengthen infrastructure in the Northeast.
