The expansion of Dehradun's Jolly Grant Airport has witnessed substantial progress as the district administration acquired over 85 percent of the required land within just three days. 

A high-level review meeting was held in the District Collectorate Auditorium to accelerate land acquisition, disburse compensation, and advance the resettlement of displaced families. 

Chaired by the District Magistrate, the meeting underscored the airport’s strategic importance in boosting tourism and connectivity across the state. 

“Officials must approach the task with urgency and seriousness to complete the remaining formalities,” the District Magistrate stated.

Jolly Grant Airport plays a key role in serving religious and tourist hubs such as Haridwar, Rishikesh, and the Char Dhams, apart from Dehradun.
