In short

West Bengal is set to get four new airports in the next two years. The places named are Charra, Kalaikunda, Balurghat and Hasimara.

The plan is linked to the Centre’s UDAN air-connectivity push. The report does not say the project cost, start date, or how far along the work is.

What the reporting says

West Bengal is set to get four new airports in the next two years, with locations named as Charra, Kalaikunda, Balurghat and Hasimara. The reported plan was shared by K Rammohan Naidu, according to the supplied summary, as the Centre expands air connectivity under UDAN. The reporting does not state construction timelines, costs, or whether approvals and work have already begun.

Why it matters

West Bengal is set to get four new airports over the next two years, at Charra, Kalaikunda, Balurghat and Hasimara, according to the supplied summary. The report says the plan fits the Centre’s UDAN air-connectivity push and attributes the update to K Rammohan Naidu. It does not state budgets, approval status, or completion schedules, so the immediate operational impact remains unclear.
