Straight stretch of NH19 between Dankuni and Palsit toll plaza can be made capable for landing fighter planes


Landing a fighter plane between Dankuni and Palsit (on NH19 enroute to Bardhaman from Kolkata) can get an IAF pilot addicted. He will never want to land on his officially designated runway in future. 

Widening and strengthening a mere 5 kms stretch of the existing road a bit might make the landing and take off a very viable option if the need arises. The biggest challenge for authorities will be to manage the traffic density. 

However, after 6.30 pm the same stretch on the reverse direction towards Kolkata is a nightmare with hundreds of sand/ stonechips laden trucks vying to enter the city after 9 pm.
