Vijayawada: The long-pending expansion plans of Gannavaram airport may get impetus, with the Krishna district administration setting the land acquisition process in motion soon.
The administration is contemplating to send proposals to State government, seeking permission for acquiring more than 460 acres land from three villages abutting the airport. A senior official on condition of anonymity told The Hindu that the land acquisition process would begin only after getting clearance from the government.
“After getting clearance from the government, we will initiate the process according to the procedures,” the official explained, adding that a notification to this effect was issued last year. Rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) would be taken up according to the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013.
According to the official, an inquiry was conducted in January last year during which objections and concerns raised by the land owners were taken into consideration. These issues were also discussed with the officials from Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Directorate General of Civil Aviation.
