At the inauguration ceremony, Rajnath Singh hailed the "great feat" and announced that the NHAI is preparing emergency landing fields at 20 locations and also constructing helipads in many other regions.
"This emergency landing field and the three helipads will not only be useful in the time of war but to carry out rescue and relief operations during any natural disaster" said Rajnath Singh.
- Later in the day, Singh handed over the symbolic key of the Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MSRAM) air defence system to IAF Chief, Air Chief Marshal Rakesh Kumar Singh Bhadauria and 2204 Squadron Commanding Officer, Wing Commander Ankit Abbot at Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
