Jamshedpur, November 13: The Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has lauded the forest department for taking positive steps towards facilitating the proposed Dhalbhumgarh airport project, expressing hope that the long-pending aviation infrastructure initiative will soon move closer to realisation.
A delegation of the chamber, led by its president, Manav Kedia, visited the Divisional Forest Office and met Saba Alam Ansari to convey its appreciation for the department’s initiatives towards advancing the airport project.
The chamber described the proposed airport as a crucial infrastructure development that could transform the economic landscape of Jamshedpur and the wider Kolhan region.
Airport to boost industry and investment
Kedia said the Dhalbhumgarh airport was of immense significance for the region’s industrial growth, trade and commerce, connectivity and employment generation.
Improved air connectivity, he said, would provide a major impetus to business activities, attract fresh investments and strengthen the region’s economic potential.
The chamber also expressed gratitude to Jamshedpur MP Bidyut Baran Mahato for his sustained efforts and continued intervention in pursuing the project.
It observed that the MP’s proactive approach had helped maintain momentum on the airport proposal and expressed confidence that his initiatives would eventually translate into a concrete outcome.
SCCI congratulates forest officials on new assignments
The delegation congratulated Saba Alam Ansari on his promotion as Regional Forest Conservator, Ranchi, and extended its best wishes for his new assignment.
The chamber also congratulated Abhishek Kumar, IFS, on his appointment as Regional Forest Conservator, Jamshedpur, with the additional charge of Conservator of Forests, Chaibasa. The delegation met him and conveyed its greetings and good wishes.
Chamber hopes for early environmental clearance
Kedia expressed hope that the positive steps taken by the forest department would pave the way for early clearance from the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change in New Delhi.
He said the chamber firmly believed that the long-cherished aspiration of Kolhan residents to have an airport in the region would soon become a reality, opening new avenues for economic development and establishing direct air connectivity with Jamshedpur.
The chamber reiterated that the airport would serve as a significant catalyst for industrial expansion and regional prosperity, particularly for businesses dependent on efficient connectivity with major commercial centres.
