Dehradun (Uttrakhand): The government of India has today cleared its stand for the establishment of the seaplanes route on the Tehri lake by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Airports Authority of India.

The initiative was taken to develop an artificial reservoir to boost tourism in the state. Meanwhile, an MOU was also signed between the state and the centre to maintain the Pithoragarh Airstrip known as Naini Saini airport.

The signing of MoU between the state and central government took place in Dehradun in the presence of CM Trivendra Singh Rawat.

However, the MoU was signed almost a year after Trivendra Singh Rawat announced that seaplanes will be operated on the Tehri lake as part of the state’s strategy to develop the artificial reservoir as a tourist destination.
