He mentioned that the district has 481 gram panchayats, with a population of 12 lakh across five constituencies.

The MP reaffirmed the state government鈥檚 commitment to establishing an airport and urged the central team to expedite the site inspection process, assuring them of full cooperation in providing all necessary reports.
