Rewa Airport’s Dream Takes a Hit: Boundary Wall Collapses After Downpour
The ambitious ₹500 crore Rewa Airport project, envisioned to transform the Vindhya region, has encountered an unexpected hurdle. Just shortly after its virtual inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Varanasi, a portion of the airport’s boundary wall has crumbled following heavy rainfall.
Concerns Raised Over Construction Quality
The incident has sparked concerns about the quality of construction, given the airport was built in a record time of 18 months. Spread across 323 acres of land acquired from five neighboring villages, the project aimed to boost connectivity and economic development in the area. Now, the collapsed boundary wall raises questions about the structural integrity of other parts of the airport.
Impact on the Vindhya Region’s Development
This setback is a significant blow to the hopes pinned on the airport for the Vindhya region’s progress. Further investigations are needed to determine the extent of the damage and ensure the safety and long-term viability of this crucial infrastructure project.
