DC orders Hazaribag airport work

Hazaribag: Deputy commissioner Ravindra Kumar Agarwal has ordered the special division of rural engineering organization to start construction work of the long-pending airport project located on the NH-33 at Nagwan village about 7 km from here.
The order was issued following the failure of the villagers to obtain stay order from the Jharkhand high court.
According to officials, the work for the construction of the airport over a plot of over 22 acres was started way back in 2007 when the villagers strongly protested on the ground of compensation to be paid to the villagers at the market rate and the work was stopped.
The work was re-started by the then deputy commissioner of Hazaribag, Vinay Kumar Choubey, by rejecting the claims of the villagers on the ground that the land was acquired by the British government way back in 1946 and the compensation was finalized in 1952 by the revenue minister of the then Bihar government.
