ASSAM GOVT PLANS HELIPORT NEAR KAZIRANGA TO BOOST TOURISM

The Assam government is planning to construct a heliport near the famous Kaziranga National Park to attract more visitors. During a function to distribute sophisticated arms to forest personnel at Kaziranga National Park, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal directed three of his cabinet ministers to scout for land to build the proposed heliport near the national park known for housing one-horned rhinos. A heliport is an area used for landing and take off of helicopters that includes buildings and facilities and typically contain one or more touchdown and lift off areas with limited facilities such as fuel or hangars.
