Pune: The state government has gone on the backfoot regarding compensation for project-affected people (PAP) for the proposed Pune international airport at Khed Special Economic Zone. In a meeting convened by the Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in Mumbai on Friday, it was said the farmers would be given additional FSI and job opportunities but no ‘money’ as compensation. Officials from Khed SEZ, Maharashtra Airport Development Company and representative of PAP attended the meeting.
With this not going down well with PAP, the stalemate between the PAP and the administration continued, which led to Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar directing the Maharashtra Airport Development Company, responsible for the airport development to revisit the old proposed site at Chakan-Rajgurunagar, for a recce again. Pawar said he would put forth the issues before the Chief Minister and have another round of discussion for finalising the site in the coming week.
