Rs 1 crore each for temples in Navi Mumbai airport's path

Navi Mumbai: Town-planning agency Cidco will offer Rs 1 crore each to 10 temple committees in villages located in the flight path of the Navi Mumbai International Airport project as compensation for surrendering their land and structures. Cidco, which is the implementing agency for the project, will also grant compensation to smaller temple complexes according to their valuation.
The committees will be allotted suitable plots to relocate these temples in layouts where the villagers will be resettled.
The airport requires relo cation and resttlement of 10 villages, including Chinchpada, Kopar, Kolhi, Ulwe, Varache Owale, Waghivalivada, Vaghivali, Ganeshpuri, Targhar and Kombadbhuje. These villages have around 3,500 households, besides minor business activities and structures, apart from temples. Large age-old temples exist in these villages, which are managed by local temple committees. The temples house idols of village deities and the lives of the villagers are closely associated with these temples.Therefore, any rehabilitation plan has to include these temples as well," said a Cido official.
