Nagpur: The Union Cabinet may have given its approval for setting up a multimodal international air cargo hub at Nagpur, but thousands of farmers in the area are up in arms against this project.
Baliram Zade lives in Khapri villege on the outskirts of Nagpur. He is the owner of more than eight acers of land. Baliram supports himself and his family on the cotton crop that ensures him a steady income of over a lakh of rupees per annum.
But it's Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel's ambitous project of setting up an international air cargo hub in Nagpur that may simply distroy Baliram Zade's very source of livelihood.
Baliram Zade is not the only one who will lose his land.There will be thousands of others who will have to part with their land and businesses.
It is now becoming clear that the villagers are in no mood to take things lying low and have started demanding either proper compensation or rehabilitation.
