PM Modi to inaugurate first Arunachal airport, Donyi Polo on Saturday

The Donyi Polo airport has been developed by the Airports Authority of India at an estimated cost of Rs 645 crore. It will have eight check-in counters and can accommodate 200 passengers during peak hours, the officials said. There is no airport in Arunachal Pradesh, the country's easternmost state. The closest facility is at Lilabari airport, 80 km away in Assam's North Lakhimpur district. There are a few advanced landing grounds in the state, including in Pasighat and Tezu.
