Jakranpally: The fate of the proposed civil aviation airport in Jakranpally mandal still hangs in the balance with no response from the Centre after earmarking the land for the same and conducting a survey twice. There is no decision on the proposal till date, even after the Telangana government entered into an MoU a few days ago with the MCA. Teams comprising senior officers from Department of Civil Aviation from New Delhi conducted a survey and arrived at a conclusion that the identified land touching the borders of Jakranpally, Argul, Manoharabad, Torlikonda and Kolipaka would be suitable for the construction of the airport and reportedly recommended the same to the government. Things moved fast as soon as the then Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekara Reddy, announced sanction of the airport in the district in 2008. The official teams from Delhi reportedly wanted allocation of about 1,500 acres of land for the purpose. In consonance, the State government officials earmarked over 1,600 acres flat land comprising 826 acres of private patta land and an equal size of government land. The site identified was just one-and-a-half km from the National Highway-44 and closer to Telangana University. It would just be 25 km away from the district headquarters town if the road via Madanpally was widened and developed. That apart, in the two public hearings held with farmers and local residents, they expressed willingness to give up patta lands for the purpose.
