Wokha, September 10 (DIPR): Proposal for construction of Helipad at wokha was approved by the Wokha District Planning & Development Board after studying the feasibility report submitted by the technical committee where land owners are willing to give the land without any pre-condition as per the existing government rates. The land is located at Vankosung, which is 1 KM from NH-61.
