Pathanamthitta: District Collector Pranab Jyotinath convened an official meeting at the collectorate here on Friday afternoon to discuss the cases pending before court in connection with the proposed international airport project at Aranmula.
The meeting was a sequel to the high-level meetings convened by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Chief Secretary E.K. Bharat Bhushan during the past one week, exploring the possibility of implementing the private airport project, overcoming the legal issues involved.
Friday’s meeting was attended by P.T. Nandakumar, executive director of the airport company; H. Salimraj, Additional District Magistrate; Sabu Thomas, district government pleader; and A.T. Sureshkumar, Deputy Collector (Land Reforms), who is also the chairman of the Taluk Land Board, official sources said.
The Chief Minister has reiterated on more than one occasion the government’s firm decision to support the airport project. The government has even accepted the 10 per cent sweat equity offered to it by the promoter company, KGS Aranmula International Airport Limited, a few months ago.
According to official sources, the key point of discussion at both the high-level meetings in Thiruvananthapuram was ways to wriggle out of the legal issues.
