The correct answer is: a) Air connectivity.
The Pakyong Airport project was a major infrastructure development project in Sikkim, India. The airport was inaugurated in 2018 and has significantly improved the state’s air connectivity. The airport is located at Pakyong, about 35 kilometers from the state capital Gangtok. It is the first airport in the country to be built in a mountainous terrain. The airport has a 1.75-kilometer runway and can handle aircraft up to the size of Airbus A320. The airport has been a major boost for the tourism industry in Sikkim. It has also made it easier for people to travel to and from the state for business and other purposes.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) Water supply: The Pakyong Airport project did not significantly improve Sikkim’s water supply. The state government has taken several measures to improve the water supply in the state, but these measures are not directly related to the Pakyong Airport project.
- Option c) Telecom infrastructure: The Pakyong Airport project did not significantly improve Sikkim’s telecom infrastructure. The state government has taken several measures to improve the telecom infrastructure in the state, but these measures are not directly related to the Pakyong Airport project.
- Option d) Waste management system: The Pakyong Airport project did not significantly improve Sikkim’s waste management system. The state government has taken several measures to improve the waste management system in the state, but these measures are not directly related to the Pakyong Airport project.
