Centre rejects Hosur Airport proposal, sparking disappointment

The Indian government has said no to building a new airport in Hosur, which is near Bengaluru.

This decision is disappointing for many people who live and work in south Bengaluru because they think a new airport there would help with travel.

The main reason for the rejection is that the airspace is needed by a company called HAL.

There's also a rule that usually stops new airports from being built too close to existing ones, like the one in Bengaluru.

The state of Tamil Nadu, which wanted this new airport, is now looking at other options.

Meanwhile, the state of Karnataka is studying if they should build a second airport in Bengaluru instead.
