The Odisha government is trying to place the iconic Dakota plane of Biju Patnaik at the airport here for public viewing, and demands are being made to bring Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose's baby Austin Car to his birthplace, Janankinath Bhawan, in Odia Bazaar in Cuttack. The Freedom Fighter had used the car from 1930 to 1941 and had reportedly travelled from Kolkata to Burma, but the whereabouts of the car is not known. Cuttack-based Netaji Foundation has sent a memorandum to Cuttack Collector Bhabani Shankar Chayani claiming that there are media reports that the vehicle was located at Barari Coke Plant in Dhanbad in 2014.
