Bengal's first private airport by 2011

Kolkata: Clearing the objections raised by Coal India Ltd (CIL), the first private airport in West Bengal is likely to be operational by 2011.
"We hope to begin commercial operation of the airport in 30 months of land acquisition," Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd director Partha Ghosh told PTI.
"We hope to complete the acquisition 2362.84 acre required for the first phase in the next four to six months," Ghosh said, adding that the government would complete the land acquisition notification in the next one or two days.
The process of land acquisition was delayed due to lack of clearance from the steering committee which was set by the government for the proposed greenfield project.
