Silchar, Feb. 12 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a newly constructed Emergency Landing Facility (ELF) on the Dibrugarh-Moran stretch of National Highway-127 in Assam on February 14, marking the first highway-based airstrip in the Northeast, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Wednesday. Addressing a press conference, Sarma said the PM's aircraft will land on the National Highway and later take off from the four-lane highway airstrip at Moran instead of using the runway at the Chabua Air Force station. "This will be a historic moment for us," the CM said, adding that the 4.2-kilometre reinforced concrete stretch has been designed to function as an emergency runway for both military and civilian aircraft. Moran ELF holds strategic importance due to its location in Upper Assam, around 300 kilometres from the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with China and around 150 km from the Myanmar border, Pangsau Pass. An aerial display by the Indian Air Force (IAF) has been planned to coincide with the inauguration, with several fighter aircraft, including Sukhoi and Rafale jets, expected to participate.P4...
