Mumbai: The City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) is hoping to get the consent of two remaining villages within a week and secure some other necessary approvals before initiating the bidding for the construction of the Navi Mumbai International Airport.
The state last month received the consent of villagers in eight clusters, whose lands are to be acquired for the airport project at Panvel. But two other villages had apparently sought some time to decide on the package offered by the government as they were in the process of elections for the gram panchayat.
“We have started the measurement of the area together with the villagers who have agreed to part with their land. This will help us to compensate them properly and at an early date,” said Sanjay Bhatia, MD, Cidco.
Bhatia also informed that Cidco had received the approval of the steering committee of the Union civil aviation ministry to float the global tender for the project, but it had decided not to start the process until it gets the consent from the two villages, Pargaon and Hol.
