Hubli airport: Land would be acquired within a month, says DC

Hubli: The Dharwad district administration, which is trying hard to complete the land-acquisition process towards the expansion of Hubli airport so that it can hand over the land to the Airports Authority of India (AAI) for development, has sought an immediate assistance of Rs 100 crore.
DC Darpan Jain told reporters on Monday that several hurdles in completing the land-acquisition process had been cleared and about 99% of the land owners had given their consent to part with their land.
He expressed confidence that the entire land-acquisition process would be completed within a month. Jain said the survey for laying four-lane road between Hubli and Dharwad had been completed and tender bids on the Rs 174-crore project would be opened on October 26.
