Hyderabad: The Telangana state government has finalised proposals for setting up new airports in the state. The proposals had been lying pending for over 18 months due to uncertainty over their locations and land acquisition.
Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao has finally given his nod for land acquisition for setting up airports at Adilabad, Warangal, Khammam and Nizamabad, which will be submitted to the Union ministry of civil aviation for approval. However, the proposal on the Shamirpet airport has been kept pending.
While the Khammam airport has been proposed at Kothagudem, the Warangal airport has been proposed at Mamnoor. The government has offered to allot an additional 225 acres at Mamnoor in Warangal for restoration of the Nizam-era airport.
Mr Rao offered speedy land acquisition for the proposed airports and asked the Infrastructure and Investment department to pursue these proposals with the Centre.
