Kannur: Though it was agreed in September 2012 that 783 acres would be acquired for the third phase of land acquisition for Kannur airport, the land owners who signed the agreement are yet to get their compensation.
"It was with great difficulty that we convinced the people to give their land, even though the money offered by the government was much less than what they demanded. But even after nine months, nothing has moved and there is no idea when the property would be registered and the money would be given," said V R Bhaskaran, the convenor of the action committee formed by the land owners, who would lose their land for the proposed airport.
If the compensation was given in time, it would have benefitted the people but now many of them are in a quandary as they are unable to plan their future.
While Kinfra had signed purchase deal with most of the land owners, some land was acquired as there was no proper land deed.
