New Delhi: It seems like the passenger rush at the Indira Gandhi International Airport might not be eased as soon as expected. The proposed international airport in Greater Noida might miss its 2022 headline. It may be noted that the deadline for land takeover for the project was December 15, 2018, but it was missed as farmers have not yet ceded any ground.
It may be noted that this project requires 5,000 hectares of land which has been earmarked along Yamuna Expressway. About 1,334 hectares of land was supposed to be acquired in the first phase of the project however, the Gautam Budh Nagar district administration which is the nodal agency for the project, has not yet begun land acquisition.
An India Today report stated citing top officials that since land acquisition has not even started yet, the project's construction will be delayed and the 2022 completion deadline is unlikely to be met. As per the report, officials have been trying to discuss the compensation demands of the farmers, who will be impacted by this project, for the past eight months.
BN Singh, District Magistrate, Gautam Budh Nagar was quoted in the report saying, "The 1,334 hectares of land will be acquired by February-end. Farmers have not given their complete approval. Once a consensus is reached, the first phase of land acquisition process for the proposed airport at Jewar will be completed."
The report further mentioned citing farmers that the compensation for the land offered to the farmers by the UP state government is less than what was promised to them earlier. Farmers claim that the government has put their villages in the 'urban' category which lowers compensation amount.
