Description

The Lalmonirhat airbase, a World War II-era airfield in Bangladesh near the India border, is proposed to be revived by the interim administration led by Mohammed Yunus along with five other British-era airports to boost the economy. The airbase has been inactive for decades but has strategic importance due to its proximity to the Siliguri Corridor connecting Northeast India to the rest of the country. The project involves potential Chinese involvement and a Pakistani company as a sub-contractor for the work, with construction likely to start in October 2025.
