New Delhi: The Airport Authority of India (AAI) that operates the Juhu airport has found that the development planners of Mumbai have designated the airport land that has existed since 1928 as a ‘public park and sports complex’.
Though the flaw in the development plan was first noticed by AAI in 2004 and has been brought to the notice of the state government umpteen times, no steps have been taken so far.
In July, AAI chairman V P Agarwal wrote a letter to the state government requesting them the rectify the flaw. “AAI has made several representations to the government asking them to notify the land for airport use. The state government is working on a new development plan for 2013 and reminders are being sent to get it rectified,” said a senior government official, who declined to be identified.
