Adampur airport project put on fast track ahead of polls

In an attempt to get the foundation stone for the proposed civil airport at Adampur laid by the Prime Minister ahead of the implementation of the election code, the officials of the ruling SAD-BJP government are working overtime to get the acquisition process cleared at the earliest.
While the senior BJP leadership had attempted to get the airport project inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his recent visit at Ludhiana and Anandpur Sahib, the same could not be done as the office of the Prime Minister (PMO) wanted the government to first get the acquisition process cleared and payments done to farmers before the event.
After a series of quick meetings with farmers of Kandola and Dumanda villages in Adampur, Land Acquisition Officer-cum-Sub-District Magistrate RK Verma has sent a proposal seeking Rs 14.8 crore for acquiring 40 acres of land (Rs 37 lakh per acre) at the site.
The ruling alliance wants to make the Airport issue as the biggest achievement for Doaba region ahead of the elections. However, since there is still a long process involved, leaders of the SAD-BJP ruling alliance have been attempting to give it a push.
