The delegation urged the Home Minister to allocate the necessary funds and resources to upgrade the airport, emphasising its importance for enhancing regional connectivity and boosting economic growth. They highlighted that improving Lengpui Airport would facilitate better transportation, increase tourism, and create new economic opportunities for Mizoram.
In response, Amit Shah assured the NGO leaders that the central government considers Lengpui Airport a priority.
