Committee to meet next week for airport project

Pune: A high-powered committee under chief minister Devendra Fadnavis is soon expected to authorize district collector Saurabh Rao to start the negotiation process with villagers for the proposed airport at Purandar and issue a notification giving details of land and survey numbers to be acquired for it.
A source in the state government said that the meeting of the committee was likely to be held next week because the chief minister was in Davos for the World Economic Forum. He said the clearance for the work to commence could come in the first week of February. The ministry of defence ( MoD) issued a letter to Maharashtra Airport Development Company (MADC) on Tuesday, giving clearance to the proposed Purandar airport with some riders.
The committee will have to issue a formal authorization to the Pune district collector to start the negotiations with the villagers and take other initiatives.
"I have requested the state government to give me the formal authorization so that the process can be initiated and completed within the next six to eight months," Rao told TOI.
He said once the notification specifying the boundaries was issued, a social impact assessment would be conducted through research organizations such as Tata Institute of Social Sciences or the economics department of University of Pune. He also demanded deputy collectors for the villages where land would be acquired.
