Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (PS)
Mangalore, Sep 30: In yet another promise, union corporate affairs minister Dr M Veerappa Moily on Sunday September 30 assured that the Mangalore Airport would get the long-pending international tag in the next two months.
He was speaking to mediapersons at the Airport on his visit to the city on Sunday to meet Hajj pilgrims.
"The international tag to Mangalore Airport will be granted in the next two months," he assured.
"A meeting to finalize the grant of international status will be held in New Delhi on October 4," he added.
He also said that the air cargo terminal status will also be finalized in the next two months.
Speaking on the issue of Cauvery water-sharing, he said the state should be more vigilant and should have made proper approach to the Cauvery tribunal.
"The chief ministers of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu have been called for a meeting. The issue can be resolved through dialogue," he said.
On speculations about former chief minister B S Yeddyurappa joining Congress, Moily chose to play safe, saying that though Congress wants only politicians with good background as it wants to give corruption-free administration, it is not totally averse to the idea as the party wants to come to power, and hence anyone with power is welcome to join.
