Nitin Gadkari Proposes Seaplane Connectivity To Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve

During a recent rally in Maharashtra’s Ballarpur, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari proposed introducing seaplane transportation in the Chandrapur district. This is mainly to enhance connectivity to the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve in the region and convenience for travellers.

According to Financial Express, Nitin Gadkari mentioned that TATR is a major tourist destination in the state and while constructing an airport nearby is not possible, due to environmental concerns, seaplane facilities would be an ideal option.

Nitin Gadkari further mentioned that if such water and air transportation facilities are developed near Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, then people from Pune and Mumbai can directly reach Chandrapur and enhance tourism in the region.
