Maharashtra Plans Land Acquisition for New Pune Airport

Maharashtra Plans Land Acquisition for New Pune Airport

The Maharashtra government is working on building a new international airport near Pune.

They need to buy land from farmers, and they're offering a deal.

If farmers agree to give up their land, they'll get some developed land in a new area called Aerocity, plus money.

If farmers don't want to give up their land, they'll only get money.

The government is starting by checking exactly how much land they need.

The project has faced some resistance from local residents, especially in Pargaon, who don't want to give up their land.
