			The Cooch Behar and Kokrajhar districts are contiguous to each other.
			“The Airports Authority of India is working for resumption of flights from [[Rupsi Airport\|Rupsi]], while it has decided not to renew the licence for the Cooch Behar airport. Such moves show the central government’s bias against Bengal and for Assam where the BJP is in power,” said Bengal backward classes’ welfare minister and [[All India Trinamool Congress\|Trinamool Congress]] leader Binoy Krishna Burman who hails from Cooch Behar.
