Coimbatore: Apprehensive over the new plan of Airports Authority of India (AAI) to acquire 1566 acres for Coimbatore airport expansion that is under consideration, residents of SIHS Colony in the city on Monday came to the collectorate to voice their dissent.
Marudachalam, president of the committee against airport expansion, said that ever since the new plan was revealed by AAI, thousands of people living in the vicinity of the airport are living in fear.
"It would be disastrous if the new proposal is approved as several buildings including thousands of houses would have to be cleared," he said.
