September 11, 2018 11:07
The Airports Authority of India has dropped the proposed water aerodrome
project at Chilika Lake in Odisha, according to senior official,
Susanta Nanda, Chief Executive of the Chilika Development Authority. This means the AAI has cancelled the seaplane project in
the lake which, if implemented, would have negatively impacted the
ecosystem and the surrounding human population at the world's second
largest brackish water lake. The AAI has decided to shelve the project
following stiff opposition from environmentalists. -- PTI
