Mihan: AAI cancels NOC to First City

Nagpur: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has cancelled its no-objection-certificate (NOC) to ‘First City’, an Rs 225-crore infrastructure project being implemented in the special economic zone (Sez) adjoining the international airport here.
The decision follows a clarification by special project authority, the Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC), to the AAI that it planned to construct a parallel airstrip southwest of the existing runway at the airport as part of the proposed multi-modal international hub and airport at Nagpur (Mihan).
Sources in AAI told DNA that it had granted NOC to First City, a lavish 31-acre residential township being developed by Mumbai-based Reatox Builders and Developers Pvt Ltd and executed by a multinational firm IJM India International, based on documents submitted by MADC.
The MADC had in those documents “concealed such a vital information” about the provision of a parallel runway, sources said.
