Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday Feb 24,2018
launched development schemes worth Rs 10 billion for Daman and Diu, and
also inaugurated a flight connecting Ahmedabad to the coastal town of
Diu.
The Prime Minister, who inaugurated Air Odisha's flight connecting
Ahmedabad with Diu under the Centre's regional connectivity scheme UDAN,
said air connectivity will boost tourism in the region. He also launched a helicopter service connecting Daman and Diu at an event.
"The air connectivity will boost tourism as tourists who want to visit
the Somnath temple, Gir forest (in Gujarat) can now go (there) from
Diu," Modi said.
Somnath temple and Gir forest are located around 80 kilometres from
Diu. Ahmedabad to Diu road journey takes 12 hours and the
air-connectivity reduces the travel time to just an hour.
