Nellore Airport Gathers Momentum

Nellore.  August 20, 2008. Chief Minister Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy had a lenghty meeting on Infrastructure development and has asked the officials to speed up the airport project proposed at Nellore on Aug 20. Earlier the project was considered to be unviable. The decision seems to be based on the huge number of SEZs, Krishnapatnam port etc requiring air facilities.
