Currently, under the Udey Desh Ka Aam Nagarik (UDAN) scheme, only a
19-seater aircraft can land at the Rourkela airport. However, with the
World Cup on the horizon, the airport must have an upgraded licence with
improved infrastructure.
Dev asserted that the state government is in constant touch with the aviation authorities to get the required clearance.
"We
had discussions with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and a request has
been made and we believe that the airport will be functional by the mid
of next year with scheduled commercial flights before the World Cup
begins," Dev said.

For Argentina, drag-flicker Leandro Tolini (35th and 53rd) and Maico Casella (41st) were on target.
Beat Argentina in penalty shootout in Pro league This is the new India! We scored in the last 6 seconds and snatched the game from argentina. It used to be a different story earlier!
Al these performances usually comes before Olympics. During the Olymp8cs we fail miserably. Infact i have even heard Indian coaches stating, because we played a lot o games before the Olympic s all teams could know our strategy.
Nah this time is different. Team has been very consistent since 2017. We thought the pandemic would slow them down but they have come out all guns blazing. I think this is our golden generation. We beat Germany 5-1 last month and Germany beat Argentina twice this month! Our media needs to give more credit to this team. Coach Graham deserves credit as well
India beat Argentina 3-0(Lalit,Harman and Mandeep scoring) in the second Pro league match, completing and excellent outing in Argentina in my opinion with a direct win and a draw plus shootout win.
