The Minister also said that presently there is no plan to deploy Central paramilitary forces in Darbhanga.

He said that there is a Defence Airport at Darbhanga from where the commercial flights have already been started.

"A postal training centre also exists at Darbhanga. Besides, the setting up of an AIIMS and a centre of Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) at Darbhanga have also been approved," Rai underlined.
