Mandi: The lobbying has started for identifying land for the proposed airport for which a Central team will conduct an aerial survey in Mandi district on Monday.
Darang MLA Jawahar Thakur has marked 750 bigha at Basadhar where 576 bigha is government land while 174 bigha is private land. According to the MLA, the displacement of people from the area will be low and destruction of forest negligible.
The place is close to the Indian Institute of Technology where the frequency of visitors is expected to be high.
The IIT authorities had requested the government to develop an airstrip near the campus at Kamand which will prove a boon for the institute.
The MLA said, “I have marked the land. However, the final decision will be taken by experts, who will conduct the survey. The site is connected with a road.”
The previous Congress government had proposed an airstrip at Ghoghardhar and even allocated funds but could not construct it. Similarly, there was a proposal for airstrip at the Balh valley but due dense fog in the winter, the government shunned its idea.
