MoD nod for building at Bikaner civil airport

Bikaner: The ministry of defence has given its nod for the construction of a new building at Nal civil airport here. For the last couple of months, there was a deadlock over construction of the building since the ministry of defence was not convinced about its height.
According to the officials, a no objection certificate (NOC) from the defence ministry has been received for construction of the building to a height of 6.73 metres at the airport.
"The required NOC is being received and it would enable us to start the construction work," said RS Meena, assistant general manager, Airports Authority of India (AAI) while talking to TOI on Saturday.
"We are planning to complete the work by March 2012. Initially we will construct parking spaces and the apparels required for the airport and the aircraft," he said.
"We are also trying our best to start domestic flights from Bikaner to those cities which have a large number of passengers," he added.
There was a dispute between AAI and ministry of defence over the height of the building. AAI authorities constructed the building up to a height of 6.75 metres, whereas MoD gave NOC only for 5 metres.
