India seeks 52 acre B’desh land for Agartala airport runway
Staff Correspondent | Published: 00:38, Aug 10,2019

India has sought 52 acres of land from Bangladesh to expand the runway of Maharaja Bir Bikram airport in Agartala.

Indian online media outlet Live Mint, carrying an Indian private newswire IANS news, reported on August 7 that the second busiest airport in the northeast India was currently operating on 509 acres of land just along the Bangladesh border.

The report added that Airport Authority of India director Bipin Kant Seth said they had requested the Tripura government to take up with the central government the issue of requirement of the additional 52 acres of land from Bangladesh to expand the runway.

The report also stated that Tripura chief minister Biplab Kumar Deb confirmed that the state government had taken up the matter with the central government, which already submitted a proposal before the Bangladesh government.

‘The additional land sought falls at Hirapur village of Brahmanbaria district of eastern Bangladesh. But we would come to know about nature of the land only after carrying out a survey,’ the report quoted a senior Tripura transport department official as saying.

‘By the end of 2019 or early 2020, Agartala airport would become the third international airport in the northeastern region after Guwahati and Imphal,’ said Tripura transport and tourism minister Pranajit Singha Roy, the report added.

‘Flights can then be operated between Agartala and Dhaka, as well as other Bangladeshi cities like Chittagong and Sylhet,’ he was quoted in the report added.

On August 1, New Age broke the story that India proposed to expand its Agartala airport into the Bangladesh territory in Brahmanbaria.

India, which already has obtained transit and transshipment facilities, has made the proposal at several meetings in the past one year.

The foreign ministry held a meeting in October 2018 with other relevant ministries and intelligence agencies to examine whether or how Bangladesh could share its land with India for the expansion of Agartala Airport in Tripura which was renamed as Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport on August 7, 2018.

The foreign secretary, Shahidul Haque, argued that Geneva International Airport falls partly in Switzerland and partly in France.

Tripura’s the then king Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya Bahadur built the airport in 1942 where three airliners now run on an average 14 flights on the Agartala–Kolkata, Agartala–Guwahati and Agartala–Delhi routes.

India gave them Bangladesh. 54 acres is just a small price to pay. I think BD should give. otherwise India will take it forcibly the day they want.

Such a reply from a senior member. No wonder no one from North east likes you lot though I'll be the mature one here and not blame the whole nation for one. Bydway it just takes a simple genetic test to know your roots nowdays. I can bet that 99.9% percent of you lot will be 99.9% south Asian. I think such genetic tests should become mandatory to prevent such brain farts from occuring. If you are lucky probably it will show only 95% south asian genes and you can claim the rest 5% is from Abdali

You are such an idiot. Dont you know Muslim concept of nationhood has nothing to do with GENES. Dont impose your own shitty philosophy on Muslims.

Couple of years back, Bangladesh gained thousands of acres of land from India during the process of exchange of enclaves. But you won't see these ungrateful wretches from Bangladesh thank India for that. But they will clutch on to every bit of insignificant news about India trying to usurp their territory and rivers.

No wonder then that the people of NE dislike these self servient Bangladeshis as @UDAYCAMPUS rightly points out.

Do your own genetic tests and you will find that our forefathers f*cked your foremothers for a thousand years and it will be proved in the Hindu DNA of the Indians, stupid Hindu animal!!! Get your DNA tests done and come with the result and claim my statement is a lie.

Like you, some Red Indians would someday claim that the whites were only 5% and almost none settled in America and the American whites are local breed with 95% Red Indian DNA. The same may also be demanded by the local Red Indians throughout Latin American countries.

Illogical Indians readily accept other migration to all other countries of the world but would pull the Muslims down to their own animal level by denying any Muslim immigration from the nearby areas to Hindustan.

So, no Indian and no dog should be allowed in this sub-forum. Indian minds are narrower than even the cockroaches. They deny the truth to suit their own interest.

Ok fine man you have pure blood arab ancestry. Nothing to do with South Asian or Bengali people. Believe whatever you want.

No one claims that Muslims in Hindustan/Bengal are pure-blooded Arab, Persian or anything, but know that there are many Turkic (Khaliji) and Pathan blooded people in Bengal region same as all other parts of Hindustan.

Read the account of Ibn Batuta, there are more Arab, Qatari, Yemeni as well as Ethiopian (Habshi) blood in Bengal than other parts of Hindustan. Central Asian blood is more prevalent in north, central and western Hindustan (read Pakistan). There is Arab blood in Sindh and south Punjab.

But, why the Indians like to sell their opinion of only local blood? No doubt many locals were converted to Muslim and ultimately through many centuries, all are inter-mixed. But, why the Indians want us to deny our foreign forebearers? Note one point that there were military aggressions throughout the centuries and hungry nomadic Muslim people wanted to fight their way to conquer land in rich Hindustan/Bengal where they would remain full stomach. This is the real story.

It is same with the two centuries of migration from Europe to America, all for survival. There is nothing glorious about it but people should not deny their forefathers because they hailed from a poor region. Do not you see why people from my country now migrates to the Arab lands? It is to remain full stomach.

Iran Pakistan turkey and BD with Malaysia and Indonesia can form a muslim alliance equipped with nuclear weapons. I don't think Arabs are worthy of this honour. Future of Islam seems to associated with non Arabs now.
