Greater Noida: The land acquisition for the second phase of the upcoming Noida International Airport Limited (NIAL) in Jewar area is likely to begin after the next cabinet meeting. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has asked officials to keep the Jewar airport project on top priority.
As the assembly elections are scheduled for early next year, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of the state wants to start the construction of the airport as soon as possible as the project has already been delayed for a year due to coronavirus lockdowns and flight bans.
“The work for phase one of the upcoming international airport is hopefully going to begin from April this year. As the work begins, land acquisition for the second phase will start. The Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has emphasized on completion of the airport project as soon as possible as it will bring a slew of developments in the state,” said Dhirendra Singh, MLA, Jewar, Greater Noida.
In the meantime, the district administration has identified 1,310 hectare of land for acquisition for the second phase of the project. Six villages—Karaoli Bangar, Dayanatpur, Kuraib, Ranhera, Mudhrah and Veerampur—have been identified for land acquisition.
