Briefing media persons after a meeting of the committee, Roy - a former union minister - said the new air traffic control tower will be set up at a cost of Rs.326 crore.
The authorities also plan to put in place a solid waster compactor station to keep the surrounding areas clean by keeping them free of garbage.
