Union ministers Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari today inaugurated the country’s first emergency landing strip for IAF planes, which was created on a national highway in Rajasthan. The strip in Barmer, which took 19 months to construct, will be utilized for IAF emergency landings. Mr. Gadkari, on the other hand, guaranteed that such landing strips would be developed in a matter of days in the future.
A mock emergency landing was made on the landing strip at the Satta-Gandhav section on National Highway 925 by an Indian Air Force Hercules C-130J plane carrying the two ministers and Chief of Defence Staff Bipin Rawat.
