Kolhapur airport gets a new name

Maharashtra government led by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, passed a resolution to rename the Kolhapur airport as ‘Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj airport’.

Moving across political boundaries, the chair passed the resolution without any deny, sending it to the Centre for sanctioning.

There has been a long-term demand from the people of Kolhapur to rename the airport, as Chhatrapati Rajaram Maharaj used to be the main architect behind the infrastructural development of Kolhapur, including the airport.
