The Government of Arunachal Pradesh handed over the airstrip to the Ministry of Defence in June 2009.^[1] The government has proposed to operationalise a civil enclave at the airport.^[2]

The Airports Authority of India (AAI) had sent a report to the state government and the Indian Air Force in July 2011 for the removal of obstacles around the aerodrome for safe flight operations and cited a requirement of seven acres of land for the development of the civil enclave.^[3]

Incidents
