Ludhiana: If everything goes as per plan, flights from Halwara airport may start from June next year, said a senior Airport Authority of India (AAI) official in the state.
Meanwhile, the land acquisition authority is expected to complete the process for the project by January-end.
A senior AAI officer said as per the recent directions of the AAI chairman, they would construct a boundary wall around the acquired area by March. He said efforts were being made by the ministry of civil aviation, Punjab, to start flights from Halwara between June and September next year and the Greater Ludhiana Area Development Authority (GLADA) was working on the land acquisition process.
“We are trying to get portable cabins, temporary structures for departure, check-in and arrival halls for passengers. Those will be installed at Halwara after the boundary wall comes up. The deputy commissioner has also suggested to start operations as soon as possible. A high-level meeting was held at AAI headquarters in Delhi recently. GLADA is also in final stages of land acquisition. The authority is expected to finish it by January-end. The land is being acquired in Aittiana village, Raikot subdivision of Ludhiana district,” the AAI official added.
“A procedure has to be followed for land acquisition and it includes studying its impact on society and environment, among others. After issuing a notification, separate notices will be served on every landowner about acquisition and their objections would be sought. Then GLADA will organise a public hearing on January 10 and 11. After discussing with people, the land price will be calculated,” Ludhiana DC Pardeep Aggarwal told The Times of India.
