Kozhikode: The state government has asked the Airport Authority of India (AAI) if they could rework the alignment of land to be acquired for constructing parking bays at Karipur airport. Such a change would spare 50 of 172 families whose land is to be acquired for the work. The decision was taken at a high-level meeting convened by chief minister Oommen Chandy in Thiruvananthapuram on Wednesday.
Realignment would also minimize the local resistance. Efforts to acquire the required 137 acres of land for airport development and an additional 20 acres for rehabilitating displaced families have been hanging fire due to opposition from local residents.
