Shimla: Besides setting up a special task force for expediting the setting up of an international airport at Nag Chala in Mandi, the Union Civil Aviation Ministry will shortly get the obstacle limitation surface survey done so that the project can be put on fast track.
The State Tourism and Civil Aviation Department had got Rs 1 crore deposited for undertaking the survey at Nag Chala, about 5 km from Sundernagar in the Balh valley of Mandi district.
The development comes in the wake of the meeting Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur had with Suresh Prabhu, Union Civil Aviation Minister.
However, with the cost of land and resettling some families, whose houses fall in the area, Prabhu has asked for a change in alignment of the airport so that the cost could come down.
It is learnt that several houses, roads and prime agricultural land fall within the chunk of almost 3,500 bighas identified for the international airport.
