The minister said it takes 10 to 15 years to launch an airport. He does not think any other airport is needed within 100 kilometers of Dhaka; the location of the Trishal airport is more than 100 kilometers away.

At their instigation, some miscreants are causing incidents of violence, and these are being shown more and more through AI technology so that the government cannot remain stable. However, these attempts to create instability have already failed, and no one will get away with trying to create instability in the country, he also said.
