Hundreds of farmers from at least seven villages in Purandar tehsil in Pune district, where a greenfield international airport is proposed to be set up, staged a protest, claiming that the project will hit their livelihood and affect their future generations. During their protest held at the Council Hall in Pune, they said that they would not give their land for the planned airport.
The Maharashtra government recently gave its go-ahead, for carrying out a detailed project report (DRP) for the airport, which will be spread over 2,400 hectares. The site has already been approved by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis said.
However, after the state government’s announcement about the airport, the affected villages Rajewadi, Amble, Waghapur, Pargaon Memane, Khanawadi, Munjawadi and Ikhatpur, had passed resolutions that they would not give their land to the project.
