Lengpui #airport in #Mizoram is quite an #engineering marvel. A lot of hills were ‘grinded’ down so a plane could land. Around the time it was being built, an MLA of the opposition MNF party famously said, “Not even a crow will land on that place. It’s for Lalthanhawla (the CM at the time) and his cronies’ way of making money.” Credit to the ruling INC government of the time who pushed the central government that Mizoram needs this airport
The state government currently controls its operation but I hear that the IAF is salivating to take over it and run it on the lines of the one in #Pune.
