Syllad | The Rising MeghalayaMay 20, 2024

Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBIA) launched its first official magazine named ‘LGBIA Chronicle’ in a function held at the airport on Monday. 

The publication includes a brief history of the airport from its inception to the present. The magazine was released by chief airport officer Utpal Barua in the presence of senior officers from AAI and GIAL.

The LGBIA Chronicle bears a colourful getup with several writeups of different flavours, edited by corporate communication officer, Ruma Devi.

On this occasion, Baruah highlighted the objectives of publishing the magazine. 

“I hope the magazine is expected to be a mouthpiece of the airport. There has never been a book documenting the history of the first airport in the Northeast,” Baruah said.

“The magazine attempts to present the history of the airport, its growth trajectory, development plan etc. We were entrusted with the operation of the airport by the Central government on October 8, 2021. We have given a brief overview of the work already done at the airport and also the plan with vision and mission,” Baruah also said.

The event was attended by Harilal Sharma, a senior officer from AAI, Mantu Kumar, Nikhil Kansal, Srinivasan Gangadharan, Bhairab Baruah, Pulak Chakraborty and several other executives of GIAL.

Notably, the event also felicitated writers including senior journalist Jayanta Kalita who wrote articles for the publication.
