The Civil Aviation Minister said that the Ministry is serious about the airport, and officials have been directed to prepare a DPR at the earliest, NOC and other formalities to be completed soon. The goal is to make the airport operational within two years of the beginning of the construction.

At 36, three-time Lok Sabha MP from Andhra Pradesh's Srikakulam is the youngest minister in the Modi 3.0 cabinet. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, Naidu defeated YSRCP's Tilak Perada by a margin of 3,27,901 votes. Naidu entered politics in 2012 following the tragic demise of his father in an accident. He won the Srikakulam Lok Sabha seat in 2014. He retained the seat in the 2019 elections too. (ANI)
